Hi All,

Years ago we used something like Soave hair gel, or something similar, to maintain a tall meniscus for long periods of time (the index was very close to water).  It was also safe for the coatings, or so we thought at the time.

The oils with indices  close to water that are available now are not nearly viscous enough.

Does anybody know of any options?

Thanks.


Best,

Gary
