micoin Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 03:17 am I'm pretty sure it's my s***ty picture taking that's causing this "impairment" unfortunately so I'm going to work on that I posted for info on cleaning so I'm waiting for info on things like whether to use cotton balls to wipe or just soak and whether to wash acetone off or just let dry. etc., etc. Report this Post to the Staff
