could some kind guy clarify what whether digi-pads are something different from pec-pad (75x75 cloth) wrapped round a spatula?

the latter worked the few times I did Canon 350D, but have just had 4 successive goes on Nikon D80 with less impressive result. On the last 2 tries there were also small fibres newly arrived. Fortunately a blower shifted that.

While waiting for the fluid to arrive I had a go with the blower, All spots gone apart from one on the top edge. so I won't both to clean until More spots appear, Hope the fluid doesn't evaporate before I get to use it :D

Chris, If you inspect the material on the digi-pad and a Pec-Pad you will see that they appear to be identical. The material wrapped around the spatula has the edges sealed with "Selotape" so as to stop the small fibres falling off.

Lello I've been using Eclipse fluid for almost 4 years and so long as you keep it sealed when not in use it will not evaporate. I still have some in the original bottle.

thank you Harry; will use more tape next time to contain the whole edge
(there was a little gentel ribaldry about why Eclipse might go down fast earlier on;) )

Missed that post Chris :) :)
