Mask still fogging up

[Nemrod]

Don't care, keep your spit on your mask and out of the bucket. I don't wish to share spit with you or anyone but my wife, thanks.

You must have missed the part where I burn my masks. That way I do not need to use spit or anything else but a bit of defog. My comment was an aside about phobias. As to who you share spit with, I do not care. And, keep your mask out of the camera rinse tank. I have seen the spit phobic divers sneak a rinse in the camera tank.

I usually leave the defog in the mask and rinse it once in the water.

Defogs do not remove the oils and silicones that cause the fogging, they simply 'mask' the cause. Only a clean glass will give a fog free dive reliably. Burning works best for me.

Let us know how they work . I have used similar magnets on an aquarium before.

Every time someone try's to help you by pulling the thing stuck to your mask off, it is going to be uncomfortable.

That's what I do. Undiluted. Add some water, rub and wash, rinse. I've also seen quite a lot of people use dish soap, but I can imagine that it would burn in your eyes if you got any in them.

Moi aussi. Had a (mild) chemical burn from Sea Drops (insufficient rinse and some leakage issues) and so switched to baby shampoo. Cheap and effective.

I just received them today. I am going to Cozumel on the 24th so I will report back after my dive.. They look promising thus far! I'm sure I will need to be careful not to loose them.

My instructor told me years ago to use old fashioned Ajax or Comet.....the powder kind. I put some in and added a few drops of water to form a paste. Scrubbed until my finger hurt and it was squeaky clean. Worked perfect!

My Mask used to fog.

I burned the lenses with a gas lighter see how here --> Mask De-Fog Lighter Trick - YouTube
Then a thorough clean - white toothpaste followed by dishwashing liquid (Dish soap)
Aim for that 'squeaky clean' feel on the glass.

Now all I need is a little touch of diluted baby shampoo pre dive followed by a token rinse in sea water for no more fogging.
I occasionally give a good wash with dishwashing liquid - as required.
