I’m posting this quick as warning to anybody thinking about cleaning a Slik Stik joystick.
I bought one a while back and put it aside being a bit grungy until i could clean it (two months and counting and still suffering for the hurt right arm..)
I took it apart and gave it a good wash in the kitchen sink in dish soap.. Then went to dry it and decided to use contact cleaner (KLEENS-IT) to get the moisture out of the electrical parts.
BAD BAD VERY BAD IDEA! It ATTACKED the plastic big time! I could see it melting, the orange fire button was gooing to the black.. I ran with it to the sink again and flushed it with more hot soaking water and things settled down. I’ve done this to other sticks with no problem, but the Slik Stik must use some soft plastic. So Just wanted to post it fast.
The stick is drying now, and hopefully no harm done it will be helping me save the galaxy soon.
