roydonian Posted August 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) To date, I’ve only had one (professional) wet-clean done in order to remove the oil that the shutter had dispensed over the sensor of my M8.2, and now rely on a combination of the Arctic Butterfly brush followed by vigorous use of the Rocket Blower. This gets the job done, but often needs several applications in order to remove the most persistent 'crud'. However, some of the fibres that make up the brush are now permanently ‘frizzed out’, jutting out at almost right angles to the main bulk of the brush. Is there any way that these fibres can be ‘tamed’ and persuaded to behave like the others? Best regards Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards Doug Don't have an idea on how to straighten the brush fibres, but if you have a recent Arctic Butterfly then you should be able to pull the brush off of the device and replace it with a new brush. Maybe trim them with a pair of scissors. Just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roydonian Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted August 17, 2011 I've just realised that there is an FAQ section on the Visible Dust company's website. This addresses the problem and gives the solution - dip the brush into distilled water heated to 50 dec C, then air-dry it.

wda Posted August 17, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2011 Two thoughts Doug. First, I presume you store the brush in its plastic keeper when not in use? Second, I find that the brush works best when it barely touches any part of the camera. It is all too easy to bend the tip if there is firm physical contact with the sensor cover or body sides.
