Sticky buttons?
<< < (5/6) > >>
RandyT:

Just wanted to offer another tip on this topic.  Almost all buttons are made in multi-cavity molds, which means there can be a very small amount of variation between parts.  So if you do have a couple that are being affected by expansion of the panel material, a quick fix might be to try swapping the plungers on the sticky ones with others which aren't.  We're talking about very small differences, but they might be enough in this situation.

I take it just sanding the inside of the socket or the outside of the plunger would help too?

A little more drastic, but would also be fine.

If your buttons have Cherry microswitches and they're already sticky, then they may not have been preserved correctly. Be sure that when you install them, place them in the control panel how you want them, then pour boiling syrup, water or fruit juice over them, then quickly close the lid. If you follow those instructions, your cherries should last you many seasons.
