This is a cross post ? I put it on the repair forum, but perhaps it more properly belongs here.
 
This post is about what may prove to be a novel way that I found to clean a mirror in an SLR camera:

I like it - will try it the next time a buy a body for spares with Bumper rubber all over the mirror - I learnt the hard way - cleaning mirrors is a challenge !

Blu tac is a putty like item used to fix sheets of paper to walls ( a typical application ).
I have seen in School stationery supply stores and I think it's made by Bostik ?
