It's all getting Steamy

[Paul Barrett]

I learned Woodwork at school 40 years ago.

It was a more innocent time. We had one lathe, one pillar drill, one grinder, and safety awareness consisted of making sure your school tie was tucked in to your woodwork apron so you couldn't strangle yourself on a lathe. Goggles, gloves, masks - pshaw!

So, in these more safety conscious times I decided to use a mask.

So help me out here. How safe is it when you have stopped breathing in dust, but can't see a darn thing 'cos your glasses have steamed up?

Amd what's the solution?

Paul,

You need one of these: Trend Airshield.

Not cheap but very effective in my experience....

Use a surgeons trick. Clean your glasses and goggles with water/detergent before starting. Keeps the condensation away a bit longer

I had exactly the same problem with my glasses steaming up, especially with the disposable paper type masks. I ended up buying a Trend Airace from Machine Mart for about £30. Works a treat, now I can see to cut my fingers!

Holy Moses - you weren't kidding were you? That's nearly as much as I paid for the bandsaw!

Cheaper than the Trend Airshield, but still pricey. Looks like either of these might also be good for doing Darth Vader impressions?

Now that's nice cheap idea to try out first. Hope it works - for the sake of all those patients out there.

cause you could also use a cut potato to stop it happening,
just remember to rub it on the inside of your glasses.

or if you are a motorist, you could use rain x. :lol:

i use the smaller trend shield, and can confirm for a glasses wearer,
it is pretty neat.

thing is how expensive is replacing your lungs???? :twisted:
