sd mk1 cleaning

[ragjoy]

i clean my atty threads and atty end of the sd once a day and the sd main threads once a week.
ive got some black attys and ive noticed that the screw end is a bit wet on the outside when i take out the atty, ive cleaned down the side of the sd threads on the atty end and its now clean and dry.
how do i clean from the inside of the sd (atty piece) under the rubber washer.

I'm not that good at cleaning my devices, bar a quick wipe with a tissue or an occasional scrape out with a toothpick, but what about trying an old fashioned pipe cleaner?

there just dont seem to be a way to get under the rubber washer without prising it, and im not sure what damage it may do.

You'd think the rubber washer would just roll off and back on again but it's really tight - except sometimes when I'm screwing my 2 SD halves together and I get a loop poking out and have to start again.

What do you use to clean your threads, Raggy? Chrissie told me about some special stuff but it was £10 and that seemed OTT. (Not that it was Chrissie's fault that it was £10 )

im not with you scylla!
as for the threads i just give them a hard rub with kitchen roll, although they are a bit squeaky at times.
i didnt know there was a special stuff to clean them, one thing is the mk1 needs a lot less maintenance than the mk2 thats for sure.

I think Scylla is talking about a different washer Raggy - the one that is on one half of the body threads of some of the SD's?

Scylla, the Noalox I mentioned, isn't for cleaning. It's an anti-oxidant and anti-seizing compound. The antioxidant part helps with conductivity.
