Supporters Gepard Posted April 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 6, 2018 Bit off topic, but here's hoping some of you might have a solution. I've never liked using these lenses because it's got this horrible tint on it but unfortunately my clear ones are a bit scratched so I played a round with these last week until the sun came out and I switched them out for a dark tint. I took a shot to the face as you can see which removed some of the tint. This got me thinking if there was a way to remove it completely. Would be nice to have another clear lense to use. Any ideas?

Supporters Rogerborg Posted April 7, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 7, 2018 Race you. My new fan vented goggles (Gucci, me) came with a dark tinted lens and, well, Scotchland. They're soaking in bleach in tin foil tray just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters jcheeseright Posted April 8, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 8, 2018 I’m sure chemically treating the plastic that protects your eyes is a great idea. Chuck them in the oven for a bit too, why not?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted April 8, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 8, 2018 That's a hard "no" from me. Black sludge in the bottom of the tin, but no appreciable lightening of the lens. My assumption is that the sludge is lens material rather than a surface tint and the only way to lighten them would be to dissolve significant amounts of it. Which would be a baaaaad idea. Lens binned, experiment concluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
