I wonder if Cramolin/DeOxit would work on the conductive strip?

Sorta. The original Cramolin contained about 5% oleic acid, which is
great for removing surface oxidation, but is also mildly corrosive to
copper. The current version is DeOxit from Caig Labs. It comes in an
amazing variety of forms, and is allegedly non-corrosive.

The MSDS data shows the active ingredients as a "trade secret". Oh
well.


I never have been able to get much visible effect of so called corrosion
removers. Oleic acid probably being best, but supposedly the cramolin
chemist also had input on making deoxit. On a short term test I can visibly
wipe off oxide with an alcohol swipe, being just as effective. Most of the
removing is mechanical in nature, and any liquid helps.
