I suppose both kerosene and WD40 are volatile fluid? In that case, maybe I could just bake the keyboard under bright sunlight for a few hot summer days in Hong Kong right now.
Then I could immerse the TKL keyboard into a big bucket of hot water for a day, then leave it to dry under sunlight again for a few hot summer days.
Well... worth trying as this method does not need anything special, nor involve fire risks. Meow....
