Hi all. Just started learning about spraying but I seem to have a problem.

How do I stop my glasses fogging up when I use a face mask?
Today I had to choose and I had to continue spraying for 5 mins with no mask on.

What's the secret? I really need to sort this before any more spraying.
Thanks in advance Smile

I think polishing the lenses with dry soap is meant to help. Worth a try as it's very cheap and even if it fails miserably it's easily removed with some hot water Smile

HI A SIMPLE SOLUTION IS TO RUB A PIECE OF BANANA SKIN ON THE LENS YOU CAN EASILY TRY IT OUT BEFORE SETTING UP YOUR SPRAY GUN.
RUB HALF THE LENS WITH THE INNER PART OF THE SKIN AND BREATH ON IT. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THROUGH THE HALF THAT HAS BEEN TREATED WITH THE OTHER HALF BEING FOGGY. I ALSO USE THIS ON MY EARLY CARS WINDSCREENS THAT HAVE NO HEATING.
YOU CAN ALSO USE THE CUT HALF OF A POTATO FOR A SIMILAR RESULT.
PLUS ON THE OUTSIDE OF WINDSCREEN IT GIVES A CLEARER VIEW IN WET WEATHER FOR CARS WITHOUT WIPERS
HOPE THIS HELPS
JOHN
