Re: Remote control repairs
Yes, the instructions usually say that you have to mix it very, very well before use, and in some types the solvent and the paste actually separate over time so they have to be really thoroughly mixed back together before use. It is crucial that the stuff is allowed to dry completely no matter how impatient you may be to have the remote or other device back in working order.
If the original conductive pills have been worn smooth you may also have to roughen them a bit with fine graded sandpaper, which feels counterproductive because obviously that will destroy whatever is left of the original surface coating, but if you don't, the new rubber coating will just slide off after a few hundred actuations.
