I was doing some close burning with my 445 when I realized thet the lens got dirty (probably from smoke). I tried to clean it, unfortunelly, some cleaning fluid got inside it. :yabbem: What do you think? Should I left it and let it dry, dissasemble it and try to clean or just throw it away and buy new one? I'm really angry as I used this build for less than half an hour...

I wouldnt try to dis/reassemble a lens as cheap as that. Best chances are probably just leaving it to dry out - leave it near a window on a couple of sunny days to dry out naturally. Make sure the focal point doesnt it and burn whatever you place it on though ;)

Ben, it's remarkably easy to clean these Aixiz glass lenses. I do it all the time.

Yeah, so stop making fun of your friends who buy rice in bulk. We know what we're doing! (and we really like rice!)

back in the day we used rice to keep certain substances a free flowing powder in humid conditions. it's almost as good as damp-rid and tastes great!

It's a laser for a reason, you don't need to be an inch from the match for it to take fire :D

Yep, my mom used to put it in the salt shaker to keep the salt from clumping :D
