Isopropyl Alcohol had no effect, had this in the vanity in the bathroom under the sink. Thanks for your reply's.
Ok then, time for acetone on a Q- tip. If that doesn't work, just leave it be and forget about it! As we used to say in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Williamsburg, leave well enough alone. It ain't gonna give you a black spot in you flash pictures!

It never happened to me, but I bought 2 of those and they were both hinky and had defects so I just sent them back to Adorama yesterday. I must have gotten the last 2 they had at the blowout price of $49.99 ea and now they aren't available now.

Ya know, you can cut a diffusing panel out of a plastic milk or juice container (cut part of the corner to give a place to tape on top) and tape it over the flash to get the same results. So you're right, not a biggie. I also agree with EL. that even a dot like this on the diffusing panel will not cause any shadow with the flash.

There is no such thing as a generic plastic. Your container is likely a polyolifin whereas the diffuser might be a styrene compound which acetone can degrade. Isopropynol is more benign. If the solvent frosts the surface is likely much weaker and subject to breakage.
