<div dir="auto">Hi,
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">The volume pot of my Korg Polysix is super
scratchy, so I decided to clean it by dismantling it first so
I can really get all the dirt out of it and clean the tracks.
I managed to remove the metal cover of the pot. Underneath
there is a white plastic part that holds the vipers.</div>

So that part is dangerous to open, eh? You cou ld get bitten!<br>
(couldn't resist ;))<br>
<br>
Does the pot have any opening where you might get this spray in?<br>
Some people report that some times of contact spray are too
aggressive and will, after improving a pot, make it fail quickly
again.<br>
<br>
I have used this particular product on the main volume pot of my
trusty Technics HIFI amplifier which was basically unusable for the
left channel.<br>
This must be now 7 years ago or so, since my treatment with the
generously injected spray, into every opening I could see on the
pot.<br>
Still working like new - so this particular spray seems not to be
one of the too aggressive ones.<br>

<div dir="auto"> Can this plastic part be removed by pulling it
of or will this result in a destroyed pot?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I can sort of get to the tracks and clean the
pot even if the white plastic part is still there, but it
would be a lot easier if it could be removed, but I just
wanted to check here whether removing the plastic part is a
good idea or not...</div>
