Sarge Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Probably alcohol on a qtip if I were to clean mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstagn Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Thanks Sarge, that’s what I was thinking, but don’t want to snag on anything inside. May try a cleaning patch or two, soak in alcohol and insert and pull out gently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstagn Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 NETim, have you used this on a red dot? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NETim Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Not specifically on red dots but on all kinds of electronic connectors/connections. It's good stuff. $$$$$ but I think worth it. I would not hesitate to use it (sparingly, don't glob it on) on battery contacts on red dot sights when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Is alcohol a good thing with electronics? Just after I started using alcohol wipes on my custom sound gear ear plugs one died. Thankfully with one month left of warranty. Stopped using the wipes and they are still fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's all I had and the need was urgent. I'd much prefer a good plastic safe contact cleaner from CRC or the like. I think the Cramolin/Caig product is the best though.

Common, medicinal-grade isopropanol alcohol is labeled as ~70%. It has other stuff like oils for your skin, etc., that lowers the 'purity' level. It's not recommended for circuitry. The grade most used by pros to clean things like electrical/electronics contacts is about ~91% purity. If you have that , go for it. Be mindful of letting everything dry thoroughly before reinserting batteries, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it for 35 years on electric communication equipment and it was better than any of the other contact cleaners by a large margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
