Maintenance
Clean the acrylic dome as needed. Be careful not to scratch the surfaces of the dome.
EXTERIOR SURFACE
Clean the dome’s exterior surface with a nonabrasive cleaning cloth and agent that is safe for acrylic plastic. Either liquid or spray cleaner/wax
suitable for fine furniture is acceptable.
INTERIOR SURFACE
SMOKED OR CLEAR
To clean the interior of smoked or clear domes, use the same instructions as the exterior surface.
CHROME OR GOLD
The inside surface of a chrome or gold dome is easily scratched. Use the following precautions to maintain the dome’s surface.
• Always handle the dome from the outside of its circular flange.
• Never touch the coated inside surface. The acid in your fingerprints will eventually etch the coating if the fingerprints are not carefully
removed according to the information in Recommended Cleaning Procedure.
• If dust or other contaminants accumulate on the dome’s interior, remove the debris with compressed air. Compressed air cans are available
from photographic equipment or electronic supply dealers.
• If heavy residue accumulates and cannot be removed with air pressure, rinse with water and immediately dry with air pressure so that
water spots will not remain. Avoid wiping the coated surface with direct hand pressure; it will easily abrade unless extreme care is taken.
If scratched, the dome cannot be repaired.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE
If internal wiping is necessary, avoid hand rubbing. Instead, make a wick as follows:
1. Use a very soft paper towel. Roll a section into a tightly wound tube.
2. Tear the tube in half, and wet the fuzzy end of the wick with a solution of isopropyl alcohol diluted with water.
3. Hold the dome with its opening facing downward. Wipe the interior of the dome with the wet end of the wick, using a circular motion, start
from the outside and spiral into the center.
4. Use a new wick for every two passes over the dome.
