<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2668376, member: 24314"]I like it as is. If you decide to dip it, use MS-70 first, then rinse in very hot soapy water. No rubbing. That may be all you need. Many would recommend acetone next. I dry w/compressed air. The correct way to dip it is all over the Net. No rubbing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: IMO, not enough to get Cameo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Hot distilled water (helps it evaporate) after the soapy water.
