It should be different Deoxit in sockets and the pot, and they behave differently. Hope the D5 was not put in the pot, and F5 is useless in the sockets. If it is the proper one, I never had problems with F5 inside the pot, except where, in the beginning of me learning about this hobby, I mixed it with some Lithium grease. That did create a problem at least with one of them, though not the pot. It oozed to the power switch, and now that one is intermittent.
But F5 inside the pot eventually will dry up and even when wet, it does not do much bad, even if used soon after the application.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
