Lubricating alps?

[seebart]

The Dell AT102 is one of my favorite keyboards. I have two here, one is very smooth to type on, the other is pretty much the exact opposite which I would obviously like to change. I have googled and found that users have lubricated their alps with something called "RO-59" which I don`t think I will be albe to get here in Germnay or even Europe. So do any of you guys have experience in this matter using alternative substances? How about something like this, could this damage the switch?

Aerosol lubricants is not recommended. It is very crucial that the right lube is used and the right amount, otherwise you just ruin the switch.
Based on my own expecrience with buying lube for switches, I would just go buy a kit from Originative. This should be what you are looking for: http://www.originativeco.com/collection ... s/lube-kit

Shipping for the lube kit will be 8$ minimum though.
Where do you get those empty hobby syringes anyway.. can't seem to find them.

Did you have look at some lube guides and such around here and GH?. You can't lube switches like some door hinge, you need to take every single one apart and lube only specific parts ever so lightly.

I use this: very nice for plastic/metal, plastic/plastic also for stabs (careful though too much makes things sticky); needs a little breaking in after application:

yes that is what I´m looking for Broadmonkey, thanks. Ordering it across the globe is not an option for me though.

Bingo Jmneuv, that Liqui Moly 3312 will be easy for me to get, thank you.

I will check out those guides before I get started!
