[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 552385, member: 34269"] I would be very reluctant to use heat or UV. UV is very destructive and the wavelengths that will kill the spores will likely not get past the glass to do any good. I worked with it in the HVAC industry and an 1/8" window pane was enough to stop it and we had to cover everything that was in its direct path, not metal, to keep it from going to dust. UV will damage the plastic parts quickly on the outside of the lens. Heat, high enough to do any good, can potentially damage the seals. Descant is the best choice to keep the lens dry. [/QUOTE]
