forget that my brain is bleached!! :D caustic soda. not for long or the bucket of water with lens will turn in to jelly sludge and that will be the last time you see the lens again, all that will be left is 2 metal threads .. i.e. what holds the lens in the case.

DIY stores mate, B&Q, Homebase e.t.c. its clean the blocked sinks, but i warn you, this shit is serious stuff, dont mix with hot water, youmix equally with cold... instructions are on the box .. when you dunk the lens in from time to time take out and check that the lens isnt melted :lol: :lol: :lol: is it has it will look like melted cheese when you take it out :lol: :lol: :lol:

goodluck.... remember you must take pictures and post no matter if it looks like melted cheese or if theres nothing left in the bucket.. even good results!!

Marigolds, aaahhh bless him, your pissing about with chemicals. it will eat thru marigolds like a beaver thru chickens asshole, listen tie a string on the thread part of the lens and leave it in the bucket.. not too long or you will have a melt cheese for toast!! hot water somehow doesnt seem to like the casutic soda as the activation is slow but it works well with cold water, it will say and remember to use the correct amount to water on the box. and wash your hands after it goes on skin dont use soap when washing, use boiling hot water, by then you wont feel the heat on skin is then you know its A&E time :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .. but serious its easy be carfefull thats is!! oh when you pour it mix it quick untill it goes cloudy ....... and its all "sweetable"
