New to DIY lasers and I got my first package with diodes, mounts and optics shipped. Before I start I'd like to know the following.
1. What do you use for handling optics like positioning a dichro or pbs on a mount and gluing it? Bare hands? Gloves? Forceps?
2. Is sweat and oil from the fingers damaging to the optics or their coatings?
3. What is the white paper the optics I got are wrapped around? Lens tissue? / Should I use only that for covering and storing optics for later use?
Thanks in advance.
