Glass Cleaning
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2015 11:44 am
Happy Monday all
I made some film this laser weekend and something that always perplexes me is the variations in glass. I've tried a lot of different methods of glass cleaning and strive for the cleanest glass with the least amount of residue.
One thing I notice is there are plates that seemingly no matter what I try after the final rinse of DI water, the water beads up. I will try rewashing these plates in soapy warm water, soak them in bleach and soak the in TSP. It seems like what ever is on the creates a ton of surface tension.
Has anyone else seen this?
If so what seems to work?
Can you test the glass i.e applying a drop of water and seeing what the surface tension is?
Thanks!
Tony
