Take an old chop stick and ground one end down like the blade of a
screwdriver. Fold a sheet of lens tissue in half lengthwise, put chopstick
inside and roll up. Dip tip in denatured alcohol, wipe element in a
circular motion, move out toward the edge, breathe lightly on the element to
dry alcohol up as you go along. try 10 or 20 times ;-)
