Ugh. The thought of generating so much dust around precision fitted mechanics 
gives me the shivers.

I filed the rear-element protection tab down on my 90/2 when I got it, so it 
would fit some things (like the 2XA and third-party extension tubes) that the 
tab interfered with. I put the lens in a plastic bag while I filed, making sure 
gravity was taking the filings away. And I still was nervous some of it would 
find its way inside the lens...

My Paasche works with just about anything. It comes with different needles you 
can change for different viscosity fluid. I most recently used it with 
Rust-Oleum on my van. On sale right now for $50 from Harbor Freight 
<http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=32371>. (I 
paid $60 a month ago!)

Disclaimer and requisite Olympus content: I have no connection to Paasche or 
Harbor Freight, except to give them nearly as much money as I've spent on 
Zuikos...
