munsterh Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hi there, I have browsed around and looked but I am not sure whether there is good advice available online how to best strip the AR coating from sapphire crystals. I have tried chieftangs method but was not successfull. I have heard armor eche could be a possibility but am not sure whether it would riun my crystal. If anybody has some suggestions let me know. munsterh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero1 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Get some Mothers Mag polishing paste, apply to a rag, rub vigorously over the crystal for 5 minutes. Poof, no more AR. Works better than the lacquer remover and far better than cape cod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 The polishing paste method sounds like a winner to me. Lacquer thinner and steel wool works like a charm for me, but it's nice not to have to handle a solvent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
