Hi Brent, I have not decided yet, there are a few options. JTW suggests using an APS-C sensor cleaning swab with the microfibre covering removed (in other words just use the flexible plastic end) and dipped in glass polish; some Net uTube people just use toothpicks or cut down paddle pop sticks; I saw one guy that used a Dremel tool with a pointed polishing pad; others use match sticks, etc. I have glass polish so I will use that at some point.
This morning I have started the epoxy process to protect the thin gold wires. First I masked off the surface of the sensor using a rectangle of tape cut to size. Then mixed up some boat building epoxy (International HT9000) with a little glue powder, and dripped that onto the contact area using the shaft of a cotton bud. Had to do some cleanup with acetone so I could remove the tape later. Photo is attached.
It will now sit until the epoxy has kicked and I will pull that tape off at that point. Once it is fully cured I can start on the sensor surface.
