Prescription Glasses vs Overspray

[SMS]

What are your practices for painting with glasses? Protect with goggle, tear offs, just clean after, etc....

I wipe mine with solvent wax and grease remover as soon as I exit the booth. Seems to work well.

I need glasses and fought this for a long time.
Fresh air hood is the answer.
Not only for glasses, visibility etc, but safer as well.
There are good threads here on hobby air and other brands.

700-1 sprays with micro fiber towel.

Interesting to see what others use, I used to use reducer because I always have coated lenses, but the lenses get attacked from the edges and begin to craze. Now I use denatured alcohol because the optometrist told me that is what they use. It seems to be strong enough without harming the lenses.

I had uncoated polycarbonate lenses put in an old set of frames. I wipe them off with lacquer thinner.

I have an eye glass kit in a 3M full face mask. They are empty frames and the optometrist makes lens to fit. Of course my lens are about 5 prescriptions back.

Hi,i put my glasses in a cup with a little bit of Dawn soap, fill with water to cover glasses and let them sit overnight,then clean with lens wipes.

I put my teeth and glasses in the same glass.

carnuba wax will stop it from sticking.

Good grief. I am I am exocentric as well. My wife and daughter just shake their heads.

Could just spray glasses with POR 15. When it fails and flakes off it will take the overspray with it

i just oversprayed my cheap sunglasses with uv clear the other day. didn't notice for about 24 hours or so. denatured alcohol for the win. took it right off without damaging any of the plastics on the frames or lenses.
