I'm not sure what Mykal is. I used the stuff you mix from oakstreet I think it is, and the caig product for contacts and got skitzy results on various things. It's a pain. It 1) takes time to dry 2) has shelf life 3) has to be put on smoothly. Bumps can cause skitzy behavior or just bad contacting.
The stick on material I've been refacing contacts with overcomes all those problems completely. Takes good close up vision I guess to precisely place the disk before you press it down. Otherwise it's a dream. I thought about making a tool for that and might still supply one. I'm still trying to get quantity pricing schedule together and I'll post it on the key page on sounddoctorin.com/synthtec/parts/key.htm when I get it figured out.
But so far I've done several polysix's and a Peavey DPM3Se and they all worked out great. -Bob
