Thank you for your answer, it should really help.  But what is the loctite
4501 ? I found nothing about this on the loctite web site ? IS a
cyanocrilate or an epoxy base glue ?

Hi,

    I have also seen the problem, with the same cleaning equipment.
    To repair the fiducial and get the best contrast we use a Loctite 4501
kit.
    Today our stencil deliverer is pigmenting the metal in the half etched
fiducial mark and
it works like a dream.
