I've tried some RS cyano debonder I had to hand, which does appear
to make a fairly good job of
removing it, but we will need something resembling a 2 foot long
cotton-bud to get to it....
2 foot cotton bud? Probably double ended strings to a swab that's
pulled through.


acetone, and pretty much ONLY acetone, apart from custom debonders will
pull CA off.


My only concern with all of this would be, is the cleaning going to
cause more damage than the original bloom? As they say on the adverts,
try it on an inconspicuous area first.


I cant see the OP, but if you can soak the part in acetone somehow, it
will take off all teh CA.


the special film inside the tubes is polycarbonate so acetone is not an option...
