Cleaning Greenforce Umbilical Torch

[Markyg]

I've just got back from a days diving at Capernwray and now have the task of cleaning my kit. I've never really bother much with my torch - Greenforce HID50 with F2 battery and umbilical lead. I usually just wipe it over and make sure the O rings have silicon on them

Today however i notice that the threaded areas on both torch head and lead have dirty deposits in them and so do the female receptors. I think it's just dirt and silicon. I've tried to wipe with a clean cloth and this shifts most of it but there is still some in the threaded areas.

Can i soak them in anything? Will this short anything or corode any parts. If not any handy tips?

Look forward to the replies

thanks

Try using a spirit such as spirit wipe from most automotive suppliers. Dip a cotton bud in the solvent and use this to clean away the residue. A lint free cloth to clean up. Wives best cotton sheet works a treat. This should remove all of the residue. HTH.

I'd send Rob Lumb a PM and ask what he would use...
