[ATMoB-discuss] Re: Collidion

[Paul Valleli]

Bruce,
You might try a large pharmacy near the hospitals, like MGH, Mt. 
Auburn, Childrens'.

I prefer the polyvinyl alcohol solution made by 
www.photoniccleaning.com  but it is
very expensive for amateurs.

What I used on the MIT 4-inch Clark Objective is  PRE_COAT 33 Blue Spray
Protective Coating in an aerosol can  from Universal Photonics, Inc.
495 West John St., Hicksville, NY 11801
1-800-645-7173 or 1-516-935-4000 ( Long Island)

Part Number LB0004

Remember we met Maria and Tony Perrera at the bar at NEAF ?
Maria works at Universal. I believe it is about $10 per can and is
compatible with the cheesecloth method.

Paul.
