Polish pure spirit at 80% is probably the easiest to get without a licence. though I'd probably use something sold as a lens cleaner, Calotherm do a coated lens cleaner , Calocoat in an atomiser and bulk bottles, smells like it's 2-Propanol (ispropyl alcohol) based, probably with some additives like EDTA. btw: the service guys used to clean our Olympus microscopes with liberal amounts of Mr Sheen. probably not the optics though. -- Paul Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
