Default Contacts, Remotes (etc.) Buttons Problem

Hi,

I am frustrated with the contacts ("rubber" type) in my expensive cordless
telephone and remote control. I tried everything I could think of. I used
aluminum foil "dots" (punched out via hole punch) and a variety of different
glues ("super" glue, etc.), but in about a year, some of the "dots" fall off.
I bought a bottle of expensive solution (don't remember the name) which was
designed for these types of contacts. That lasted less than a year!!! I
tried self sticking copper tape. That lasted over a year before some "dots"
fell off. It seems to me that the only way to fix this problem permanently
is to build a box with a bank of NO push button switches. Do you
know of an alternated method to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance, Brad

I have had great success gluing things with a product called "Goop". I
found mine at Kmart in a tube for about $2.00. It dries clear and
remains flexible. It sticks better if you work fast before it skims
over.
