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?) Pat Palmer (email: ppalmer@nrao.edu)
