A small contribution. You can polish such blades with a cotton-bud which has been touched with graphite powder. The blades will come up beautifully - and it helps for smooth operation too. You only need a VERY SMALL amount of graphite - and you should blow clean afterwards otherwise any residual graphite particles may find a home on the surfaces of the optics and manifest as little sparklers. This procedure has always worked fine for me on literally hundreds of shutters - and I never had a problem. You won't get cotton-bud fibres jammed if you stroke "away" fron the leaf overlaps. If you use tissue you will spend forever trying to remove little specks. Hope this helps |
