Hi Group
I accidentally burned my starboard foot-well!
I replaced my lanterns alkaline battery (EverReady) ~ Christmas 2010. It hasn't
seen any use since then.
I sit down in front of my Europa XS Mono to study the undercarriage mounting
frame,
need some light. No problem, I grab my lantern that I always store with the
lens up (in case it is left on), turn it on and use it for 5 or so minutes.
I turn it off and rest it on my starboard foot-well, again with the lens up.
After about 10 minutes I pick it up, turn it on to use it again and see what I
think is water on my foot-well, it's turning the Phenolic resin black!
I'm not sure just what leaked out of the battery, but it was water clear and had
the viscosity of 3 in 1 oil.
I was able to get off perhaps 1/2 of the damage, I tried water, alcohol and
acetone
with scotchbright.
Anyway the resin sure did react quick to whatever it was that leaked out.:
