Re: Fixing the bezel on a 10C Message #4 Posted by robert rozee on 3 Sept 2011, 12:23 p.m., in response to message #1 by Keith Midson
as Gerson says, it could be a glue residue. however, do you feel it is like an etching down into the surface of the aluminium?
i have seen aluminium escutcheons that are coated with varnish, where moisture has got below the varnish and corroded lines in the aluminium that look very much like what is on your 10C.
if it is just glue, one good 'universal' solvent that can be used is eucalyptus oil, or better still a product called "de-solv-it" (based on oil extracted from orange peel). with either: apply to glue (or to surface of a label to be removed), leave for 10-15 minutes, and then peel off label or wipe away remains of the glue.
any chance you could post a much closer-up photo?
