Moisture inside aixiz glass - Help!

[Wytry]

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...

Close burning not a good idea, Its Done!!!

You could disassemble the lens. Unscrew the lock-washer with a tweezer and clean the lenses. Then put them back in the right order.

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.

I left lens in bag with rice for all night. In the morning it was completely dry! Still hate optics anyway. Everytime I touch anything releated to them it gets dirty or broken

Leaving it in a bag with rice. That's a pretty nice technique. Makes sense.

 

[sinner]

Yes they are sensitive, and you got a nice solution i didnt even imagine the rice are hygroscopic in nature.. :gj:

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

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