Hi David, Today I started to work on attaching the AR film you sent me. I was wondering how I can remove the hand-written word "Front" (in blue ink or so) on the front side of the AR film (I guess you wrote it down there). With plain water it won't go; I do not dare (yet) to apply solvents or so. (BTW I saw on my credit card status that they deducted EURO 1.60, AFAICS something like US$ 1.90 rather than $2.00. Above it was another deduction of $1.95 which was EURO 1.64 - made me suspicious. If you don't get the full 2$ just mail back on this, I'll send it again).
