A while ago, someone posted a tip that some failing keyboards can be
rejuvenated by judicious application of electrically conducting paint
on points where the conducting rubber has deteriorated.  I expected to
have a hard time finding this paint, but today I discovered that it is
commonly sold in auto parts stores (Napa, etc.) as a Rear Window
Defogger Repair Kit.

I bought some. (It is fairly expensive: ~$8 for a miniscule bottle.)
Now, before I start tearing things apart, does anyone have any
additional tips to offer on its use?  Or, does anyone know anything
wrong with this procedure?  (Will I have to save it until my rear
window defogger fails?)
