FD lens apertures do get stuck. I've had to send a few for service in recent years. The shame is that many are so cheap it's no longer worthwhile spending the money to repair them.

Regarding Tokina: i've discovered (and ruined lens this way) that when using Isopropanol to clean some lenses it's exactly that substance is directly responsible for causing separation.

Not only IPA, also most other solvents are able to cause seperation.

Never drench your lenses, just moisten your tissue/PecPad with your cleaning fluid.

Common problems for old lenses, although there are brand related differences.
