 Strange Request

Billy, I have never heard of this stuff before, but from what I have read looking for the chemicals you asked about; it seems to work really well. I may have to give it a try as I am always having problems with my glasses fogging up at the worst time. Especially safety glasses and goggles. I don't feel so bad now I am finding out everyone else here wears glasses too! I just started wearing them a year or so ago because I was having so much trouble reading.

It does seem like we are all in various stages of the baby boom generation.

Maybe we gotta hit 40+ before we begin to appreciate the need for space and acreage and thus the need for our beloved compact tractors.

I'd rather wear glasses than be 20 again.

I've worn them since 4th-grade when a school test found I couldn't read the eye chart's second line. School performance hit a rough patch in the 4th grade. Toyed with soft contacts for a couple years but I can't read with them very well and my eyes put deposits on them faster than I could scrub them off. Worked great for soccer and even boxing (with full headgear) and they don't fog.

I still haven't solved the fogging problem although it's a lot less since thin plastic lenses became available. I used tobacco and spit for diving masks a long time ago. Sounds like ethylene glycol might be better, or at least more agreeable. Really is a problem snow blowing without a cab when the wind is wrong. One side of my face gets frozen and the glasses covered with snow and ski masks don't work over glasses. Think I'll see what the snowmobiliers do--boy that snow sure does sting at below zero in a wind and you can't get it off your face and glasses with gloves on. Ive been reduced to colourful language many times.

Tom, trust me, get a snowmobile helmet with a heated visor, after 10 minutes you'll wonder how you ever did it before you got the helmet.

Personally, I'm lucky, the glasses are still only for detail work & reading so they stay next to my chair & relatively clean. Usually the only thing I have to clean off them is dog tongue & nose prints.

My mother however swears by using a mild solution of Jet-Dry, the stuff you're supposed to put in your dishawasher every month, and water in a spray bottle. Run the glasses under warm water & clean them off, then run them under straight hot water for a minute, then spray them and let them stand for a couple of minutes. They dry very quickly with no water spots or lint and they seem to stay dust-free.

Best of luck.
