Removal of loose surface particles is usually done by wetting a piece of<br />
acetate tape on one side with acetone, allowing a short period for softening<br />
and applying the wet side of the tape to the area of interest. Thicker tapes of<br />
0.013 mm (0.005 in.) work best for such cleaning applications (thin tapes tend<br />
to tear). Following a short period, the tape hardens and is removed. This<br />
procedure is normally repeated several times until a final tape removes no<br />
debris from the surface.<br />
