whitequark | ha, I found the best way to clean all the intricate folds and pockets in my glasses' frame from grease | 12:05 |

whitequark | FLUX-OFF! | 12:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | take care, depending on the lenses' finish, you might ruin them | 14:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I've seen more than one monitor (CRT) being ruined by a careless cleaning with usual agressive household detergent which took off the antiglare finish | 14:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | those ultra-thin metal coatings are really delicate and sensitive to acids | 14:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | all sorts of optical glass (lenses, glasses...) have very similar coatings usually | 14:50 |
whitequark | DocScrutinizer05: I took my chances and the coating is 100% fine | 14:50 |
whitequark | however that shit (dimethoxymethane) has an amazing capacity of dehydrating skin. one really needs to work with it in gloves | 14:51 |
whitequark | I touched it for about 2 seconds max and it really feels horrible | 14:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | probably flux-off is particularly "non-activated" ;-) | 14:52 |
whitequark | yeah, I guess it is specifically formulated to not attack polymers, such as plastic connector parts | 14:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | also non-corrosive to metals, I guess | 14:52 |
whitequark | yeah, it's not corrosive in general, it's just an organic solvent | 14:53 |
whitequark | rather volatile | 14:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | anyway, outside is a weather I often miss in midsummer, so I'm afk | 14:53 |
whitequark | o/ | 14:53 |
