Any thoughts on my post on the SOHC4 Site?

I use this silicone damping fluid, ebay item number 290489033958. Quite expensive but there's enough to fill dozens of dampers. The instruments should always be stored face up. If you have ever seen a new boxed instrument there's a label on it stating 'store face up'. I have had a few new old stock instruments that have not been stored correctly and the fluid has found it's way onto the face. I've managed to remove the fluid from the face using a spray glass cleaner, the type used for spectacles. Great care is needed but it did make a significant improvement. The effectiveness of this method may depend on the face colour, the particular one I recall had a black face.

It's interesting to note that some instruments of the same still age retain their damping, some don't and without any evidence of leakage onto the face.
