[sdiy] Slider recommendations

Hi List,

I suddenly find myself needing to clean up an ARP Odyssey in a hurry. It has
all the typical symptoms of neglect - dirty keyboard, gummy sliders, all
that. The keyboard I can handle, but the sliders need some experimentation
to find the best clean-contact-and-smooth-operation treatment. My first
attempt was Deoxit (aka Cramolin) plus Tri-Flow; better, but I think they
could be better still. So, I'm fishing for a tried-and-true solution to get
them to "showroom" condition. I am considering soaking the cards in
Isopropyl overnight, hoping that I don't melt some poly cap or something :)
I'm still at work today, so you guys have plenty of time to stop me if
that's a bad idea....

Anyway I seem to remember seeing a thread about this a while back, but
didn't take any mental notes since I didn't have the need at the time. Any
pointers appreciated!
