This will probably be known to a lot of people, but...

This is your daily reminder to NEVER clean, touch, or wipe your M240 with any kind of IPA-based product - be it wet wipes, or just fingers that recently came into contact with an IPA-based hand sanitizer. The lacquer used to paint-fill the shutter speed wheel markings DISSOLVES in IPA. Very quickly and very strongly.

If this happens to you, like it did to me (hand sanitizer, then trying to wipe a smudge off the wheel) stop, wipe your fingers, don't touch the wheel anymore until completely dry. When home, wet a thin piece of toilet paper or tissue with a very small amount of IPA and just dab or very VERY gently wipe the smudged lacquer off the surface. DO NOT press, or you'll dissolve more paint from the recesses. The goal is to wipe what's already dissolved and smudged across the surface.

In such a case you easily can repaint with acrylic paints from Tamiya or Revell in white or any other color. It is no big thing.
