Hi
Why use someone's resold product when you can just
buy some silicone grease like DC4 and it works fine.
DC4 will last longer because it contain a binder.
As for degreasing, I would suspect that something like
brake clean would be better on electronics. Gunk engine
cleaner has corrosives and is hygroscopic. I don't think
I want that in my machine. It would surely cause
long term problems.
