Thermal lenses?

[gemando]

What's best to clean a thermal lenses with? Ive heard that you can only put water on it, but Ive also heard that you shouldn't put anything at all on it.

Whats your advice?

Shouldn't touch or put anything on the inside of thermal lenses, you'll just knacker up the coating.

Hence why I avoid them like the plague, V-Force FTW

I normally just use water or use a cloth to clean the paint off (Grillz lenses btw)

don't use running water, don't soak them in water. Apply dihydrogen monoxide and wipe with a cloth.

Ive got Vforce XD


Yeah Ive tried to avoid touching the insides, but I had to give them a light wipe with a dry cloth as they had got stuff on the inside.

Dude, VForce lenses aren't thermal. A 'thermal' lense is typically dual pane and with a special coating on the inside pane. JT and Dye lenses are of this design and you should avoid touching the inside. On the other hand VForce lenses are specially cured and can be wiped inside and out, or even rinsed in water without affecting the anti-fog. For this reason VForce lenses are utterly unbeatable.

Hmm the guy who sold me them said they were thermal. But meh, they work XD Someone else also said that running anti-fog coated lenses under water is what keeps the coating working.

I just rinse my Grillz lense with warm water, the anti fog coating is'nt the greatest on my lense so I use catcrap to re-anti fog and it works fantastically

That reminded me of the guy who lubed his marker using honey after being advised to use Honey lube. Ie I can see that sentance being taken literally... im off to raid the cats litter now haha XD

Cheers for the advice though I might invest in some if my lenses start fogging up.

I know a lad who used his mums marmalade to lube his bolt, we suggested hater marmalade, he must have forgotten the hater part

Just hope he used the rindless variety
