I recall a tip from somebody cutting out little pieces of adhesive backed metal foil muffler patch and sticking on the defective pads. Sounds wierd but its cheap, you get a lifetime supply for little money, and several other servicers said they tried it and it worked well. Several places sell a conductive liquid contact restorer you paint on. A couple of places sell a two-part conductive epoxy you mix and apply. I bought a paint-on bottle of liquid stuff but it doesnt wet the pads well and I think it will flake off. I have had some remotes come in that had been repaired elsewhere and the stuff had come off and made a mess. I have the GC Nickel Print but it doesnt wet the pads well either. I think that oil from fingers works its way through the elastomer and makes it difficult to make things stick to it.
