Default Re: Rejuvenating Magic eye Valves?

I wonder if an infra-red lamp (or the sun if we get a summer) could be focused onto the target with a suitable lens in order to heat it.

It might be difficult to get a uniform temperature gradient, but a target mock up could be made and used as a trial with visible light to assess coverage. There would be no problems with convection cooling inside the valve.

We've got a really helpful dentist on the Forum - any opticians out there?
