I tried looking for an answer to this question, but I've been coming up empty-handed. I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer.
I'm brand new to switch modding and am about to try my hand at some Gateron Blacks for use in the upcoming MiniVan and RoadKit group buys. I already have everything I need to mod the switches: the switches themselves, Krytox, stickers, and springs. What I'm missing is the actual boards they'll be going in; they'll be here sometime in December or January.
What I'm wondering is this: Am I safe to lube the stems and bottom housing (undecided on lubing the springs) now and then just solder everything together when I get the Van kits? Or will letting the switches sit while not mounted in a plate (i.e., on their sides, upside down, etc in a ziplock bag) allow the lube to seep into places it shouldn't be and ruin the switches?
Just itching to get to work and figured I can take care of the switches while I'm waiting on everything else. But if you guys tell me this is a bad idea, I'll hold off and do everything when I get the kits.
Thanks!
