Atomic Mask Prep

[aaen]

Looking to purchasing one of these masks. They seem to be getting amazing reviews and after trying one on, it fit my face rather well. I am curious if there is any special way to clear the silicon off of the glass, which will not ruin the ultra clear lense, or do I just go about preping it the usual ways, toothpaste, etc.


i searched through the forums and I thought there use to be previous post about this but I can't remember for sure, nor was I able to find it.

Thanks

Steve

Are you talking about the new ARC lenses? If so, I think this is the thread you were looking for.

There are two varieties of Atomic Lenses - Ultra Clear and ARC

"Cleaning" the mask in the usual way would damage the ARC coating.

Doing so for the Ultra Clear is no problem.

I <3 my subframe mask

Couldn't agree with your more, Rakkis! I love my SubFrame too.

Thanks guys, that was the exact info I was looking for. I am going to be buying the ultra clear not the arc lense. So the normal toothpaste cleaning will work for the residue.

Thanks

My Atomic mask is the best mask I've ever owned... dropped an AL80 on it... no problems. I will say this... I had to do the normal toothpaste cleaning for a bit longer than normal. A good 30min did the job.

Use baking soda toothpaste or make your own paste with a little bit of baking soda and water. I used a electric toothbrush. Did it in about 5 min until it felt squeeky clean. Did not fog once.
