Whatever happened to solid mask defogs?

Will an application of Absolutely Clear last across several dives, or does it need to be reapplied after each dive?

Absolutely Clear is cheaper than regular defog

Really? A 700 ml bottle of dish soap is around $2.50. Since you dilute it, it gives you several liters of defog. I haven't seen any kind of commercial defog cheaper than that.

I am interested too...if I could apply it in the "night before" prep that would be great! Also, how it stands up to hot humid boat conditions between dives...

$1 at the dollar store works just as well!

If it's like the ones I used before it lasts several dives. The downside to how long it lasts is that you can get a white residue buildup if you don't clean the mask out with soap and water at the end of the day.

Has anyone tried any of the RainX wax on the inside of their mask?

It says on the package, "Warning: Eye Irritant."
