<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<u></u><u></u></p><div><div class="h5">
<p class="MsoNormal"> Just recently, my custom made Xenon Difluoride etcher has become popular with many of my users and I found myself in the horrible and embarrassing predicament of running out of etchant. Since this is somewhat of a specialty item, lead
times are astronomical. Is there anybody out there that can lend me a sample cylinder? I will replace it with an identical new one. The cylinder is aluminum and is 2” diameter by 10.5” long measured from the bottom to the centerline of the male VCR fitting
on the valve. Similar or not so similar cylinders can be fitted, it’s just a matter of finding one.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance.<u></u><u></u></p>
