DeoxIT® D5 is a contact cleaner featuring a deoxidizing solution that acts fast to dissolve oxides, sulfides, and corrosion that forms on metal. This cleaner can enhance conductivity without causing shorts, virtually eliminating intermittent signals while improving signal quality. DeoxIT® D5 fills in microscopic gaps to reseal surfaces. The protective coating acts as a lubricant to reduce wear and abrasion.

DeoxIT® D-Series - Contact Cleaner & Rejuvenator with NEW Perfect-Straw™ nozzle. Never lose your straw again! More than a Contact Cleaner . . . Chemically Improves Connections (without harm to metals and plastics) DeoxIT® D-Series contact cleaner is a fast-acting deoxidizing solution that cleans, protects, lubricates and improves conductivity on all metal connectors and contacts. Use as a general treatment for connectors, contacts and other metal surfaces, and on non-critical metal surfaces with severe oxidation and corrosion. If the metal surface is discolored, it is severe. DeoxIT® dissolves the contamination and protects the surface.

CAIG DeoxIT brand tip tinner 14.2 gram jar, soldering tip cleaner and conditioner. For cleaning and protecting of soldering iron tips. Prevents oxidation of tips. Keep your soldering iron tip optimized for accepting solder and efficiently heating your soldering surfaces for an easy flow of solder between the iron’s tip and your work. To use, dip the heated soldering iron tip into the compound. (Keep the lid on the container when not in use). A double sided tape on the bottom allows you to secure the jar to your soldering station.

This product is a precision lubricant for moving contact surfaces (faders, switches, potentiometers and other mechanisms with sliding surfaces). It replenishes lubrication lost on surfaces that have been cleaned with solvents or other cleaning solutions.

Bob Smith Industries™ Insta-Cure™ Super Thin Cyanoacrylate. A must have for luthiers! Insta-Cure™ has a water-thin viscosity that wicks deep into joints by capillary action and cures in a matter of a few seconds (1-3 sec.). Surfaces to be bonded must be tight fitting (no visible gaps) and should be held together or clamped while you apply the CA around the edges of the seam. For glue applications with small gaps or looser fitting joints the higher viscosity Insta-Cure+™ is recommended.

• Water-thin consistency
• 1-3 second cure time
• For tight fitting applications
• Available in 1oz. and 2oz. sizes

WARNING: These products are eye and respiratory irritants. Product can bond skin instantly. Keep away from children!

DeoxIT® GOLD (formerly ProGold), is a unique conditioning solution that improves conductivity and provides long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections (gold, silver, rhodium, copper, bronze, nickel, etc.).
Use on plated connectors, contacts and metal surfaces for maximum performance and protection. Recommended for critical applications where only slight cleaning action is necessary.

• Conditions Gold Surfaces
• Enhances Contact
• Seals and protecs surfaces

Flushing action, safe on plastics.
If the surface looks clean, applying DeoxIT® contact cleaner first is usually not necessary. DeoxIT® GOLD is designed to dissolve small amounts of oxidation. Apply DeoxIT® GOLD after DeoxIT® contact cleaner on plated metal surfaces. The more critical the connection or part, especially low current applications, DeoxIT® GOLD should be the final step.

Bob Smith Industries™ Insta-Cure+™ Medium Gap Filling Cyanoacrylate. A must have for luthiers! Insta-Cure+™ is a higher viscosity CA for loose fitting joints in which the adhesive must bridge gaps or the parts to be glued don’t fit perfectly. Medium viscosity super glue is the most common glue used in many luthiery applications due to it’s cure time and viscosity. Recommended for binding repair and small poly finish touch ups. Normally, the thicker CA is applied to one surface and then the parts are held tightly together for about 5 to 15 seconds. For large surface areas, including those with close fitting joints such as laminations, INSTA-CURE+ ™ should also be used. To prevent premature curing, don’t spread the glue into a thin film. Lay down a serpentine bead with about 1" separations on one surface, then assemble the parts, letting the pressure spread the CA out. To speed up curing time use the Insta-Set accelerator!
