Polysix key contact replacement

2010-12-02 by Arturo B

Not sure if this has been discussed on here before, but it looks like a worthwhile solution. This fellow says he has material made for/by NASA that he's using to overlay onto his Polysix contacts (and any other keybeds that use the same type of dome contacts...there's a list in the video write up). He says that they have the same properties as the original material and that they work very well. Just wondering if anyone's tried these. I'd really like to give them a whirl cos I'm really sick of my contacts constantly going on me.
 
My only concern is that if these things fail and you have to remove them (or if they fall off), you'll be stuck with this sticky goo from the 3M adhesive he's put on the material so it'll stick to surfaces.

Aside from this, what else is recommended? Rubbing Alcohol/isopropyl? Light sand paper? Erasers (which I find only lasts a few days/weeks? I was told that lighter fluid is good to clean the bus bar and J wires of my Prophet 5. Would that work on the Polysix type contacts too?
 
Thanks!
