Assasimon Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Howdy Folks! Is it possible to remove the cyclops on for example a Sub without destroying rest of the glass? Best regards! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim If sapphire... Yes. Acrylic poses more of a problem, and hence requires more caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbus Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) I wonder if the use of a newer kind of plastic razor blade, the kind seen for boat and automotive applications, may add one more measure of safety to the procedure. But maybe it wouldn't be strong enough? Edited April 11, 2006 by Kerbus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck88 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I wonder if the use of a newer kind of plastic razor blade, the kind seen for boat and automotive applications, may add one more measure of safety to the procedure. But maybe it wouldn't be strong enough? I've used a soldering iron to head up the cyclops (and thus the bonding agent) and it simply slid off... then wiped the rest off and presto. YMMV of course.

Assasimon Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well I tried a little heat yesterday to without any luck. I´ll better leave the cyclops alone for now then... Thank´s for all the suggestions! Regards! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 i use a heat gun and heat it till it gets too hot to touch then i use a razor and pust it off , then i wait till it cools and use a razor blade to peel off the residue glue from the crystal, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assasimon Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hmm... Should I really warm the cyclops/chrystal that much? Can´t the movement or the bezel get damaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I tried a little heat (well, a LOT of heat) and mine didn't come off. Magnification looks off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
