Mask in the freezer??

Or it could be that he's completely clueless (like many dive shop employees) and really beleives this because that's what the shop owner (who is clueless) told him also.

Either way, sound like he's full of crap.

were one so inclined, one would concurr with this assesement of the situation, to whit, the lack of cluefulness exhibited by said establishment employees, in re the use of lower temperatures to prevent and/or retard fogging in underwater observation apparatus, given the proven track record of oral hygenic products used in combination with commercial anti-fogging products and/or salivated excess moisture

What???

Interesting.

Toothpaste (non-gel) works wonderfully due to it's abrasive nature to scrub off the residue left behind by the manufacturer. You only need to do this when you first buy it.

After that, I suggest that if you're into saving money and opting for toothpaste over commercial de-fog you ought to try switching to spitting in your mask.

:lol:

Could I get your spit in dog doodoo flavor please?

Why do you want your mask to taste of dog doodoo?

and please don't sit next to me on the boat.

I noticed in a posting a person said to use a lighter being careful to not burn the edges of the mask. If you're going to do that, why not just simply remove the lens from the mask in the first place?

For what it's worth, scrubbing it good and hard with a toothpaste that's a non gel formula works for me.

Try J&J baby shampoo, works better than any product I have used.

While I prefer standard old gritty toothpaste, I have a friend who swears by simple green and an old toothbrush

while not sure about j&j i can only second that! shampoo works excellent and most hotels offer the handy little boat trip size bottles free with your stay . as for initial toothpaste, works usually perfect.
on the downside i have to say i have one mask (since years now since i barely ever use it) where sofar any treatment failed from initial over the predive routines in many variations. since there is nothing to lose on it, i am willing to try the freezer treatment (even if i think its bs) just to see what will happen . i guess i will update you in a week or so.

I wouldn't USE it. I just think it might be amusing to watch it being manufactured.
