philipus Posted June 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone The pressure plate on my TTL has become dirty - there's a bit of sticky substance on one corner. It could be from masking tape which is what I use on my film rolls for descriptions of equipment used and motifs. What's a good way to remove this? It's a metal pressure plate (of course). best and many TIA Philip Welcome, dear visitor!

topoxforddoc Posted June 1, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 1, 2014 If it’s sticky tape, a small amount of acetone (nail varnish remover) will get it off. If you don’t fancy that, then isopropyl alcohol will do as well. That’s what we medics do to remove plaster marks on people’s skin from wound dressings.

Michael Geschlecht Posted June 17, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 17, 2014 Hello Philip, A good general rule is to treat your pressure plate the same way you would treat the surface of a coated lens. It is important not to damage the relatively fragile smooth surface. Best Regards, Michael 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcraf Posted June 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted June 17, 2014 I'm with Charlie on the alcohol thing. These plates, whilst smooth, are designed to cope with a fair amount of use, so a bit of solvent will do them no harm at all. Regards 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
