Yo guys I'm writing this because I'm new to the hobby and I've done a mistake on my current build! I've bought some ktt strawberry and they were factory lubed so I socked them in water dried them and then lubed, but now after months of the build they are giving me a lot of problems, so I've bought some C3 tangerine that are factory lubed too and I want to know how you guys deal lubing factory lubed switches?

Thanks in advance for the answers!

The best possible thing to do would be to put them in a bag of isopropyl alcohol, put that bag in an ultrasonic cleaner water bath.

Second best option is isopropyl alcohol, a toothbrush, and some good old elbow grease, pun intended.
