Have been using one for many years(over 10).
I was cleaning it today after a dive in Philippines and one of the magnifier came off!!!
I need to find a suitable adhesive when I get home. Transparent silicone seal should do it.
Any suggestion is much appreciated.
 
Transparent silicone seal should do it.
I use a real glass magnifying 1 inch disk on the inside bottom of my mask to help read my computer numbers easier. I use 2 drops of Loctite Glass Glue and then press to squeeze out any air bubbles so it's 100% clear. Then used a cotton swab with acetone(ie same as nail polish remover) to wipe off the excess glue. Repeat with a tooth pick in acetone for fine-line cleanup. The acetone will also clean/prep your remounting surfaces. The disk and surrounding area is 100% clean with zero distortion/ripples/glue lines. I'm going on 5 years with diluted baby shampoo, rinsing, salt crust and general abuse over 700 dives and it is solid & clear. You can find it at most hardware stores for $5.

You won't be able to see thru silicone and eventually it will get cloudy. Either way,,post a reply picture when you complete it and let others know what worked for you to help them too.
