    Re: Repolishing old lenses with fungus, balsam separation

    Damn that was a good post! I will read again several times. MEK is Methyl Ethyl Ketone? If so, I just happen to have one gallon of the stuff for a different purpose, that didn't materialize. Do you have anything against real balsam? Auto glass repair resin? Never heard of it. I now like the balsam because it keeps well. Also I considered 3D printing clear uv resin. But I think its a thermoset polymer what cannot be reheated and melted again.
