[HUG ] Re: Cleaning the Mirror

According to the Wikipedia "Collodion was also used by pathologist
Thomas Stoltz Harvey to preserve Einstein's brain in 1955". 
If it was safe to use on Einstein's brain, surely it cannot harm a
Hasselblad mirror...

By the way, they also mention its use for cleaning optics. They describe
an "improved" version of Bob's method, which consists in applying two
layers of collodion with a piece of thin cloth in between to facilitate
the removal.
