Collection cup stained due to Tunze epoxy ?

[gregzz4]

Well, yesterday I got all crazy with the collection cup and got it clean

What was on the inside of it was epoxy residue and I feel it was restricting it's function. I couldn't slide a wet finger over it due to how sticky it was
So, I cringed a little and cleaned it out with isopropyl alcohol. Then I washed it really well with vinegar, and finally water

It's working great now. Bubbles are rising and I can clean it out without scrubbing

I DONT recommend this as a solution for you all as it's really hard on the acrylic

Did that effect the transparency of the acrylic?

I ask because my top-down acrylic photo box is totally stained from having epoxy on my hands when I'm mounting frags.

Hey Brett
No, it didn't affect the transparency at all, but it did leave 'evidence' internally, within the glass

I used 99% isopropyl alcohol 'cause that's what I had for cleaning glass before siliconing

It didn't melt the acrylic

Just test a piece first to judge your 'on' time

You know,... its a talant when you are mounting frags AND taking pictures?

Haha I used the viewer to help me with placement as I'm on a stepladder and up to my armpits sometimes when placing things
