I suggested it to another friend of mine and he said it worked great. If you spray the board lightly, clean the soda off, and then wipe off the silicone, there shouldn't be any problems. Anyone know what might go wrong with this idea? -- Thank you and happy hunting! Actually: Ethan M.

Disclaimer: Who said what? >Not necessary wrong, but I would really recommend against getting silicone on the key switch contacts. Suggestion, try plastic safe tuner cleaner, hopefully better for the case than silicone or WD-40. Wayne Martin Dr.FeelGood Want a soda? Yeah! Here catch! Arghh.....! splash.
