GeoMan, if you’re not doing FTIR, then not only do you not need a ‘compliant surface’, you should use one. There’s no reason as it won’t due ANYTHING for you. A compliant surface (silicone, etc) is ONLY for FTIR.

I am using FTIR. Although I have no compliant surface at the moment, just bare acrylic, I still am able to use my setup. Now I am trying to figure out somewhat easier process to create a compliant surface.

being here for a while i can tell you there isnt a more easier way than doing what tinkerman did ROLL - ON silicone is the easiest thing i’ve seen…

Taha

Hey Tinkerman,

you kind of saved my live with your silicone technique. Thanks a lot, and if you ever happen to come to Germany, I’d like to buy you a beer or two.

Glad it all worked for you!

I’m half German and I’d love to visit so one day perhaps, I’ll take you up on those beers .
