Guess I will stop using it, wonder if maybe because I never used anything else it didn¡¯t gum up, maybe it binds or doesn¡¯t fully dissolve other previous lubricants.

Yes, in my case. ?The?

I have not had issues (yet) i have used it 2-3 times on the slides but i wipe it completely off , Brian, David os that what you did and it still gummed up?
?Interesting, the rep said to apply with a white 3m pad. He also said denatured alcohol would work in the interim. Have others had this contact issue with the slider switch?
