DeoxIT® Fader Squeeze Tube, 100% Solution, 2 mL

I was skeptical of this stuff at first and being so expensive I was hesitant to purchase. I did my research and read some really good reviews so I gave it a shot. My old school Peavey Bandit was making all kinds of cracking and popping noises and it got worse anytime I touched any knobs. I took all the knobs off and put a few drops on the post of the pots and turned them back and forth letting the fader lube work it's way in. I put the knobs back on and hooked everything back up. I honestly expected no difference. This stuff worked wonders. No pops or crackling anymore. It's worth it to try this stuff before paying a tech to repair your amp.

I applied this to the volume pot of the synth section on my monophonic analog drum machine. About the first five times I used the box afterward, I had to twist the knob back and forth to sort of work the crackle out before I started playing, but then suddenly it set in or something like that because now it works like a charm and every bit of my (disturbingly loud) crackle was gone (after having been like that for at least a year or two, probably longer). This stuff works. My friend Greg is the most successful DJ I know, and he advised my brother (who installs car stereos) to get some of this stuff. My brother is who told me. They were right. I am here to testify that this tiny expensive bottle of grease will in fact work wonders in eliminating crackle from a knob. Next I plan to try this for slowing down a knob that got too loose from me foolishly using the common brand of commercial degreeser/lubricant (DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR AUDIO GEAR). This is a not the same thing with a new name. This stuff is formulated properly! Try some.

The left tempo fader slider on my Traktor Kontrol deck was barely responding any more, jittering all over the place when it did show any sign of life. I ordered this and was able to apply it into the fader without taking it apart by dropping it in then using toothpicks to rub it against the inner sides of the railing. It's still a tiny bit jittery but is back to being usable! Saved me so much money!

I have a vintage Pioneer SE-405 stereo head phones that uses carbon pots for volume control. The left head phone was working in only one sweet spot when volume was adjusted. Professional advice led me to buy the DeoxIT® Fader Squeeze tube, 100% solution, 2 mL and squeeze into the tiny opening of the pot case with subsequent rotation of the pot knob. Well, it greatly improved the range of volume adjustment and after 24 hours the volume adjustment was full functioning. Great product for getting rid of the noise and improving the carbon sliding resistance.

This is the same lubricant found in the DeoxIt F5 spray, but this is the 100% formulation, whereas the F5 is 5%, plus some contact cleaner, propellant, etc. Both products are ideal for different applications, so I highly recommend both. This formula is perfect for DJ crossfaders specifically- it gives you so little mechanical resistance while improving the electrical signal, that it makes cheaper faders feel better than they do right out of the box. I only gave it 4 stars because of the size of the applicator nozzle. This stuff is relatively expensive, and usually 1-2 drops is enough to cover most faders, but the nozzle on the tube is way too large to direct the flow of the product where you need it to be. Even a single drop is too wide to fit between the sides of the slider housing, so you have to hold the dropper slightly above the opening and center it perfectly, hoping the drop goes through to the contact strip below, or you have to squeeze an excessive amount of it into the opening until enough builds up to flow down into the housing. By that time, you’ll have lube all over the outside, underside and sidewalls of the housing, and probably your fingers, which will all need to be blotted up, and in doing so you’ll probably blot up some of the lube from where you actually wanted it to be, which may lead to repeating the whole process.A super fine precision applicator that can fit inside the fader’s top slot would make a tube of this last much longer. The best DIY fix I could come up with was to cut about 1cm off the end of a plastic drinking straw , then flatten it so it fits into the fader opening, and then squeeze the F100 into the straw. It still wastes a bunch of product, which gets stuck inside the straw, but at least it channels the lube to the right place and it won’t be as messy.

The media could not be loaded. My rane 1 dj controller crossfader was filled with so much lint/dirt/residue. After wiping it clean with 70% alcohol, then applying 2 drops of detoxit on each rail. Once I put everything back together it was like new. Good stuff and still have a lot extra left for future maintenance

The product was easy to apply and sealed the covers as required.

Nothing special, it does not lube as much as it cleans...

I had constant issues with my Audioengine A2's volume knob making a ton of noise anytime I adjusted it. I could clear it out temporarily by turning it a lot, but would always be back in a day or two. Saw someone mention fader lube to solve this problem and thought I'd give this a try. Well let me tell you, a little dab or two under the knob and my noise problem is solved. Not sure how long this will last, but this tube will give me a TON of applications... assuming I don't lose it first, it is little.

I had a "possessed" sun roof in my vehicle. It would open and close randomly.I undid a few bolts, found the potentiometer that the control knob turns, added a few drops of FaderLube into it, and presto,... perfectly functioning sunroof.

Great stuff. Works just as it should, brought an old Roland RA-90, Roland PG-1000 and a Kawai K1 back to life. Thanks!

Well good product but not as pictured. The tube nozzle is very short and hard to get down to the slider (fader) unless you disassemble the unit. I was hoping it would have a longer tube for those hard to reach places.

Great item, but wow, it's a tiny little bottle for the $$
