Mask Repair

[jmark18]

The glass in my ScubaPro frameless mask has become unglued on one side. The glass has a custom prescription installed and I would prefer not to have to pay for a new mask and lenses. Can the glass be properly and safely reglued? If so what product will do the job properly?

If it came out of the frame on its own without any external factor, it maybe a case for mfg. defect and may be covered by warranty. As far as I know from previous experience, it really can't be fixed reliably.

The mask is so old it is definitely not a manufacturing defect

I doubt very much that you can fix it and still be reliable. You may try to remove the lens on it and then using them on a new mask.

I have mine since circa 2000 and the only problem I had with it was a broken strap. I had one that was new, unused in its original box that was sitting as a spare on the shelf for at least 15 years and when I wanted to use it, it was leaking due to the glass coming out of the frame, SP replaced it for free

If you be able to clean glass and "rubber" good enough for gluing - you can try to use Aqasure (Aquaseal) Aquasure® Urethane Repair Adhesive & Sealant | McNett Europe - Outdoor
once I fix the glass from Poseidon Atmosphere FFM in to AGA Divator frame.
Late it works fine.
Anyway one pack of aquaseal is cheaper than new mask

Scubapro could very easily replace the mask under warranty and it is very possible, even very likely that they will. But, that will not resolve the issue with the prescription lenses.

The good news about that is that whoever installed the lenses (Prescription Dive Mask in California, or See the Sea in Texas, or whoever else) should be able to un-bond and remove the lenses and bond them to your new mask. If the prescription is still good for you, reusing the lenses is a lot less expensive that new lenses. I know Prescription Dive Mask in California advertises the service in their website (under the FAQ) and they will probably do any mask even if they didn't originally do the job. I have had very good service from them.

Good luck
