Scratches!!!

[lee staniforth]

asuming that the surface quality is good at taping, the surface quality you refer to (Both sides) can only come from AFTER you remove the surface saver tape.

So.. Once the lenses have finished the polish cycle, Take the lenses from the cyl machine and rinse in water. Then de-block in WARM water upside down in the re-claim tank. Should be set to 60 to stop degeneration of the alloy (cadium burn) this prevents any contact of the back surface.

Remove the lenses and inspect.

I believe someone else had the problem and I wanted to recommend suggestions by talking to them on the phone. After all these years I've seen it all. Must be it wasn't important because I never heard from those I gave my # to. Surfacing is a craft that needs attention all the time, so many things can and will go wrong. Happy surfacing everybody and I'm still here for information.

One science may be referring to a glass brush which I remember from the 70's. It was like a pen with the end having a bunch of glass fibers bundled like an artists flat brush. You could rub it over shallow scratches on glass lenses and it would somehow blend the scratch.

Am I remembering correctly anyone?

Yes, I used to use those to clean off hardening spots from the chem hardener.
