Had a post on my forum about
sticky binoculars. That's right, sticky
binoculars. For those of you out there using insect repellents, be aware the insect repellents with DEET can remove or damage finishes, leaving you with a "sticky"
binocular finish. DEET is still the ultimate in insect repellant, but I usually opt for one of the plant based repellants to avoid ruining the finish on a good binoculars. Some of these newer formulas have proven quite effective against mosquitoes, too.
