It doesn't do any cleaning, it just creates a new conductive surface. Any
required cleaning must be done manually before applying. The stuff is
basically a carbon-based goo with some added silver, and a couple of
solvents to keep it in liquid form. In theory, adding some more solvent
should keep it wet almost indefinately. But I'm not a chemist, and I
didn't design this product, so I can't say for sure.


Depends on the binders used. Sometimes u can simply add the solvent, other
times u can't, at least not very effectively w/o knowing the precise
original formula and then calculating the required amount of additives for
the exact amount of product remaining.
Of course, if you've gotten your money's worth already out of 20+ remote
repairs, it's not gonna waste a lot of money to experiment. Just remember
to use adequate ventilation when experimenting with unknown reactions.

I haven't used any of this product personally, but if the stuff is anything
like GC's Nickel Print, et al, I think you're gonna be fighting a losing
battle trying to make it last long after the designed-in shelf life.

Good luck.
