never tried it but i wud use a syringe and a insulin needle long as it was water and not condensation (cool it and it shud turn to water).
Would involve you goto to the local drug treatment place and claiming to be a smack head or roid freak but my guess is a new lens wud be cheaper on the self asteem lol!
If you used a needle i downt it wud need sealed or anything coz its sponge anyways so shud work, how did you do this? Loads of people try and wash their lens and plunk it in water.... DONT!

Water/condensation between thermal lense = BIN
Being as your mask is your number one piece of safety equiptment you really shouldnt try cut corners when it comes to repair or replacement

If there is water in between the 2 elements of your lens then the seal is probably breached, or you dunked it in water to clean it, standing it upright to drain and then putting it in a warm place (airing cupboard) will probably clear it. Though you may get some spots between the 2 panes where the water has dried and as the seal isn't likely to be effective anymore it is possible it will steam up in use between the two.
Either way this will effect the practicality of the lens and the effectives of the goggle system, therefore the best solution will be to contact your Dye retailer for a shiny new one, at less than the price of a box of paint and making the difference between being able to play or not, it's the only sensible thing to do really.

However if you dont want to put in the airing cupboard for a day or 2 and it will go, however may leave smear marks on the lense and you can always seal the gap up with abit of glue or wateva
