A couple of ounces of bourbon should clean it up OK and you can save the rest for yourself! :)

I am good with my camera stuff and have not had this happen to me. A lesson learnt and a pricey boot of whisky by the sounds of it Walter lol :O)

A bottle of Bourbon is a lot cheaper than a brand new speedlight :-)

A lesson many of us have learned first-hand!

Oh dear, someone left the batteries in there too long. Unfortunately, I've seen the
results up close and personal.
LynnH21-Nov-2015 02:58
Oh, been there and done that. Great reminder though... I'd better double check. :)
Neil Marcus21-Nov-2015 01:57
Well I hope that you both share it ...after he repairs it.

Thanks for this - easy to forget about those dormant batteries. Wish I had a friend with a bottle of bourbon :(
