Chemicals and pots

[ld]

Sorry I cant advise whats available in your country..but I can warn you
NOT to try what I once did here in the US..I once tried a spray meant
for cleaner automobile brake parts..it melted the plastic internal guts
of the pots and ruined them..first I would look up in the phone book any
electronic parts retailers/distributers in your area..if none are nearby
then look up consumer electronics repair shops (tv's stereos ecet) and
ask them what they use ..perhaps they will sell you a can..just be sure
to ask if it is safe for plastics..as some pots use plastic internally
instead of carbon..regards
