:lol:

because one evening while setting up in twilight a bird dropped a 'payload' on it!


classic!


Reminds me of this one time when I was in Art college...
I was making a print....
I waxed my plate and was walking accross a bridge in Limerick
to the print facility and a seagull 'dive bombed' me....
a direct hit onto my waxed zinc plate....

To cut a long story short...
I etched the dried 'art' and printed from the plate...
I got a distinction....
Nobody knew till after graduation... :twisted:

But back to matters in hand...
If it aint broke......
ya you guessed it.

I feel your pain though...
do nothing it may be fine
or
do nothing it may get worse.....

odds are it dose'nt need the attention you are talking about.

I only had to clean the corrector once and that was because one evening while setting up in twilight a bird dropped a 'payload' on it

I'd be out with a pellet gun to get my revenge on that dive bomber. :lol: :wink:
