Default Re-manufacturing Carbon Resistance Strips in Slide Potentionmeters - any idea what binder to use?

SNIP

Can't you just adapt the element out of a more available slide pot?

As if it's not going to be hard enough to make reliable, wear-resistant.
and above all *linear* tracks, how on earth are you proposing to handle
log or other tapers, which some are bound to have if this is audio
equipment ? Is there really no similar sized off the shelf pot range that
you could adapt the mounting brackets or PCB mountings of ? Even if they
were a bit longer or shorter than the originals, they could be made to
work . With many many years experience in the electronics repair and
refurb business, I really feel that you are setting yourself a next to
impossible task here ...

I agree....
