Cleaning the lens?

[JamesHooper]

I went and got dirt on my dilda and now it isnt performing its optimum ;D

Whats the best way to clean the lens and what with etc etc?
Im so pleased with this laser, best Ive got a 15ft match light so far (took about 5-10 seconds)
Also, whats a good alternative for teflon tape?
Nowhere round here seems to have heard of it :-?

Q tip with a bit of window cleaner works for me. I don't have a Dilda, but it works for all my other lasers.

Alternative for Teflon tape?
Ummm... Nothing that I can think of...

Lenspen?

But instead of window cleaner you really should use the highest % alcohol you can find. (And no not drinking kind, isoprophyl!) I have 91% sitting on my desk, you can sometimes find everclear (a liquor this time) that is 95 or 98% I believe but you have to be 21 to buy it and I'm sure it's a bit more expensive.

I might try window cleaner for now, then if that doesnt work Ill get the father to buy some of that liqour.
Cheers for the answers
I still need a teflon tape alternative >.<

I still need a teflon tape alternative >.<

Why? It is cheap and available at most hardware stores, building supply stores, plumbing stores, and some grocery stores.

Peace,

Glad I didnt use alcohol then

Dave- nowhere round here seems to sell it, I might make another trip into town tomorrow to find some though.

its kinda hard to find, but they sell 99% alcohol at some walgreens or meijer.

For dust on a lens, i use a camel hair paint brush and a can of air
