I will my two cents worth maybe it will help. I dont know if this will work with this application, but a Staedtler eraser (white eraser) works very well on cleaning gold contacts. I used this method
Use a piece of scratchy bond paper... just tear a corner off your Will and use that... ;-) OK, he means you should use that type of heavy, course high fiber "bond" paper. The good stuff has no acid i
