[Shop-talk] conductive rubber

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, so I have a remote control that gets used alot.  The main buttons 
aren't registering any more.

Is there a way to "clean" or "resurface" the button's conductive rubber 
back side? 

What would happen if I just put a piece of metal there?

TIA!
