    @ Piotr - actually thats a typo there - mine are 15ml bottles.

    @ MPJ - it may seem expensive on the face of it but I use mine DAILY and often use it at UKLEMs on members projectirs and in the time I have been using it (aproaching 3 years) I have used 3 bottles - just started my 4th. It goes a hell of a long way. In fact from a sellers point of view thats the only negative - its gonna be years before I get repeat custom. The ammount of cleaning you can do with one bottle if you are careful and dont leave the lid off is staggering.

    Yes I have been told the exact same.
    I will surely buy this stuff once I have some more money reserved.
    For this case I will use my purosol.
    I only have to clean the front mirror.
    I'm not reusing that microfiber cloth from the optician.

    Of course the other important point about this is this is the only cleaning method that will not damage your optics - the only contact with the delicate surface is the brush which is loaded with the solution that acts as a lubricant. One damaged dichro by a different cleaning method and FC has paid for itself in one go!

    I have the clear stuff. Can I safely add a die to it to make it a color? This stuff is the cats meow! DO NOT DO YOUR GLASSES. It melts plastic.

    Acetone will not melt 1.498 index CR39 monomer which is used to make the vast majority of Ophthalmic lenses. However, there are Ophthalmic lens materials that will be affected by acetone. Did you get your lenses from an optician or were they the pre-manufactured things from China?

    I guess so,

    I could reduce the price to 25 euro without shipping if this helps.

    Maybe if you bundled the stuff with some some of your lenses that Rob doesn't have you might have more success!

    Cheers
