Clean the acrylic dome as necessary to maintain a clear picture. Be careful not to scratch
the surfaces of the dome.

 Clean the dome’s exterior surface with a nonabrasive cleaning cloth

and cleaning agent that is safe for acrylic plastic. Either liquid or spray cleaner/wax suitable
for fine furniture is acceptable.

 Clean the same as the exterior surface.

 The inside surface of a chrome or gold dome is

easily scratched. Use the following precautions to maintain the dome’s surface.

1.

Always handle the dome from the outside of its circular flange.

2.

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 recom-
mended cleaning procedure in item 5.

3.

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.

4.

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. Once scratched, the dome cannot be recoated.

5.

If internal wiping is necessary, avoid hand rubbing. Instead, make a wick as follows:

Use a very soft paper towel. Roll a section into a tightly wound tube. Tear the tube in
half, and wet the fuzzy end of the wick with a solution of isopropyl alcohol diluted with
water. Hold the dome with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior of the
dome with the wet end of the wick. Use a circular motion, starting from the outside and
spiraling into the center. Use a new wick for each two passes over the dome.
