One day soon Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 ☹️I stupidily didn't take the lenses out of my Wiley's this morning when gluing the foam back on and managed to flick a couple of specks of glue on to the lenses. To add to my stupidity, rather than wait for the little bits to dry I decided to quickly try and wipe it off, result two F *mad*KED UP lenses, I wouldn't have minded too much if they had been one of the sets of tinted lenses but it's the clear ones and they are needed more now than ever given the low light in the am & pm. Any idea's, if not where do I get new clear lenses? Glass OK Edited by - one day soon on 7 Oct 2005 14:02:08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyT Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 If no one comes up with a better plan, Superglue is not waterproof. I've never tried to shift it off a surface but I'd probably soak them in warm water or something along those lines and then try glass cleaner.

strongy Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I thought that there was such a product as superglue solvent/remover? I have heard tales of hospitals using it in A&E to seperate fingers etc? Strongy, pratting about on Blatchat when I should either be working or getting ready to go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilyhands Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 If it is normal glass, you can chip it off with a plastic scraper, just push on it and it will come off. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wag Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Alex Wong uses superglue to re-attach severed limbs. Does that mean you can never wash again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefoster Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I have gun wash (for cleaning spray paint equip) that shifts super glue. Might shift the lens too though. Acetone would do both so no go. You could try warmish water and soaking for a long time - might work doubt it somehow. Bonded skin eventually releases due the the oils in the skin undermining the bond.
