attached are photos of my friends SL3 panels. He split them open and did the heat treatment with blow dryer which amazingly removed the wrinkles as you'll see in the before and after photos.
He then took cotton balls and soaked the cotton balls in distilled water and wiped four to eight pounds of dirt off of the diaphragms and they now look amazingly clean. So clean that I wonder if it is possible to remove any of the conductive coating with just distilled water and light to medium wipe down with cotton balls. The water was dried off with a cotton hand towel (clean towel of course).
1) How hard or easy is it to remove that conductive coating?
2) now that all the wrinkles are gone, should he take it a step further and clean the diaphragm with some chemicals or solutions to fully and completely strip off all hint of conductive coating and then recoat them?
