I dunno about toothpaste, but don't use jewellers rouge. If you want to polish plastic (which is what this really is) there is a green polishing compound that should do it much better - afterall, that is its actual purpose.

Where are you storing your glasses in the sand paper drawer?
I've been using the same pair for several years(MSA cruisers), the reason they've lasted so long is I put them on as I walk in and only take them off as I walk out.
If you get use to wearing them constantly you'll forget they are even on... and feel strange without them on!....................................................................

Brasso and Silvo both work quite well, using cotton wool for the polishing medium. Takes a bit of patience, and persistance.

Just don't feel comfortable wearing them, even in bad glare.......some sunnys even make me feel a little nautious too.
Everytime I see your name Harry, I remember that magnetic jointer setting idea of yours and how I must try it. Should pull me finger out.
Thanks for all the ideas fellas. I might try Ashores idea I think.

... which are polycarbonate, same plastic as the specs.
Hadn't heard of that use, Skew, sounds like a good 'un! What do you use for a cloth, an old cotton rag or something?

An old chamois, that came out of a cheap'n'useless CD cleaning kit. Originally Posted by scooter

Of course, it won't make any difference if it's the printed side of the disc that's damaged.

Chamois, got it.
Bunnings had chamois covered sponges on clearance for 50c or $1 each (or thereabouts) a while back, so grabbed a few & cut up the chamois for video head cleaning and, er, CD & DVD reviving

Actually I am the same, I often wear them into the house and only realise that I have them on well after I have locked up the shed.
Actually, I even wear a pair under my Triton Respirator (in case I do anything stupid with the mask lifted).
Mind you, those cheapo ones are uncomfortable. I have some flash ones (they didn't cost much though). I got them from the local Mitre 10 and they are adjustable (both tilting backwards and forwards and they also have adjustable arm lengths).
Very cool and comfy.

And actually I didn't even want to think about it!
I don't want to have anyone here have any horrible accidents, so maybe you should change your habits a bit Midge, ay?

Thanks for the concerns chaps, yep, it was a once-off (as far as I can remember:eek: ). Usually I wear bifocal safety specs, but it was pretty scary in retrospect! Originally Posted by Auld Bassoon

Maybe thats how apricotrippers glasses got foggy in the first place Originally Posted by Wood Borer

I wear my reading glasses for setting the scales and some marking up and the safety glasses for doing the actual cutting. theres a space for the one thats not in use on the bench
