I'm told that FANTASTIK handles static better than Formula 405.

I noticed a reference to trichloroethane a few days ago. I usta use it
years ago on Xeroxes. Be *careful* with it on hot parts. I'm told that on
contact with hot metal, trichlor produces phosgene gas, which was one of
the war gases used in WWI...slightly fatal. :>

I've successfully used alcohol to clean keys by squirting it in there at
high pressure from a bottle.

Have you tried MEK? I think of alcohol (the kind without water) and MEK as
safe on almost anything.
