A new (ish) way to clean a DSLR sensor

Last night, I tested a novel way to clean DSLR sensors using clear gel glue (in my case Aleene's clear gel tacky glue). Sounds scary.

I used the technique (brush, paper, etc) described here:

and discussed here:

The technique comes from the mind of Rainer Hönle from Germany (the owner of Sensor-Film), but I tested a novel substance available that is readily available at walmart in Canada.

In essence, the technique uses polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) in a water solution to remove dust from the sensor.

Preliminary tests were promising. More to come.
