A friend pointed out to me that someone may actually think my flippant
tongue-in-cheek recommendation might fall on the eyes of someone who doesn't
know what hydrofluoric acid is. hydrofluoric acid is used to etch glass. It
will, in fact, remove everything from the sensor, including the sensor,
which it will also dissolve.
Regards,
Bob...
