Cleaning




A recent "Defense Tech Briefs" had an article about,
and an ad for, a product used to clean and protect
optics. It is polymer based. You coat the lens or mirror
and leave the coating in place during handeling and
assembly. Later, you peel off the coating to remove stuff.

The ad has a pointer to www.photoniccleaning.com where
a starter kit can be had for about $100. Not cheap,
but maybe worth it for cleaning good stuff.
