    Default Group buy Red First Contact optics cleaner

    I want to do a groupbuy of Red First Contact optical cleaner.

    what is it?

    First contact is the best cleaning method for cleaning laser optics

    First contact is a special polymer you put on your optics let it dry and pull it off to remove any type of residues without the risk of scratching the optics (like you can do with wiping with lens tissue)
    The cleaner is suitable for first-surface mirrors, optical glass, linear and nonlinear crystals, diffraction gratings, optical thin films, Si, Ge, ZnSe, NaCl, KBr and KRS-5.

    You can also use it to protect optics for storage by applying a film on the optics.



    Why Red.

    Due to the red dye you are always sure you do not leave anything behind.

    What do you get?

    one applicator bottle with 15mL Red polymer for 30 euro including shipping within Europe.



    Anyone interested?

    Mccarrot: 4 bottles
    Dave: ?
    Bart: 1 bottle

    only 5 bottles to go.

    Does anyone have any idea of the shelf life of this stuff and how it should be stored to increase said life?

    Cheers

    Am I missing something here?

    The group buy is about 35p cheaper than on Rob's website, surely you can't all be that hard up. Why not just order from Rob and support his business?, he has to make a living you know .

    Rob's website has it priced at £26.55 including tax and shipping. See here: http://shop.stanwaxlaser.co.uk/first...iclean-1-p.asp

    Today's exchange rate is 1 GBP = 1.1460 EURO

    That works out at 30.42 Euro's per bottle.

    Or have I missed something obvious?
