Use of CRC spray lubricant on boatanchors?

[K4RT]

Have you used CRC-brand "electrical grade 2-26" "multi-purpose precision" spray lubricant for boatanchor switches? While at Home Depot yesterday I saw the 5 oz. cans in the electrical section for $2.98 each and bought one. Good results, bad results? Any comparisons to DeOxit?

CRC 2-26 is the best spray to use on contacts.  I had an old can, then bought some at HD. I was surprised to see that it was still made.  The cans were full size for about 3.00.  Now I see HD only has a small can for the same 3.00.

Most of the time the propellent will run out long before the can is empty.  WD-40 will due the same leaving much in the can.  The trick with WD-40 is to shake the can well before using it and you should be able to almost empty the can.  I think the same is true with the 2-26 can, shake it.

Most of the time I just use WD-40 on switches and controls, works well, but 2-26 would be my first choice.
