Re: [PolySix] BEST Key contact repair solution?

2016-06-30 by <backshall1@bellsouth.net>

Lasynthco has the entire rubber strips, but that’s overkill if you haven’t damaged the strip in some way. I’ve used both CaiKote and the stick-on dots as well as one of the other paint-on silver solutions. The liquids seem to last okay for at least a couple of years but I think the stick-on carbon dots are a more permanent solution. I get them from Bob Weigel at sounddoctorin.com.

I asked this over in the mono/poly group but got no responses - so I thought I'd try my luck here. I was reading a blog where someone recommended AGAINST CaiKote 44 in favor of someone's proprietary stick on 'dots'... having just received some CaiKote - i'm wondering if anyone would caution against this due to poor longevity (?)
