Seems to me I've seen techs use this stuff for all kinds of electronics
cleaning and lubricating, including pots and sliders.  Not sure which of
their products is best for this.

What is the full name of this? I don't think I've heard of it before.
Great to finally see some discussion about cleaning techniques/products.
There are so many differing opinions on the topic(as I've recently
discovered!).

< Spraying anything into a pot or slider without
taking them apart is not a good idea.>

Although I greatly appreciate the rest of your advice, I can't imagine
the time involved in taking apart every pot that needs cleaning. I've
been using tuner cleaner to clean pots for years with satisfactory
results. The only problem, as I mentioned before, is getting a small
enough application. A common sense tip I just read somewhere says to
cover the surrounding area where you are spraying with a cloth to catch
the inevitable overspray.
Where is Lubri-plate available from in Canada? US?
