DeoxIT on tube pins


I remember reading that this is not to be done & only a comprehensive clean using fine grit paper.

What's the general consensus?

I agree that one should not use excessive amounts of any enhancer.  Nor should one repeat the treatment over and over again. I have read warnings about using Walker SST on tube pins, because of the heat issue raised by Elizabeth.  But is there real evidence that ProGold bakes on and forms a non-conductive goop?  First of all, it seems to be a fairly dilute liquid.  Just the act of installing the tube after a single treatment, even assuming one does not wipe off the excess liquid a priori, would tend to re-distribute the suspension (or the solution) such that there is mostly metal to metal contact between pin and socket.
What is “wrong” with using pro gold, once you have cleaned the pins with their solvent?
