Re: Polished U-binned RAW in progress

Haesslich,

No need to remove the vial--just work right over it, but be reasonable while working near it. I think removing and reinstalling would be a major project.

The amount that you remove from the vial is minimal, as it is somewhat below the surface of the light to start with.

With a 10X loop, I can barely detect the polishing marks.

It's not below the surface for me, actually. :p That's the problem - I put too much crazy glue in when installing, so I need to remove it. Will acetone/nail polish remover do?

Nice. What'd you do to get the flash on, and how tough is the coating?
