Sir, thanks for video. I saw some scratches on your mask glass from inside. Are these scratches gone after or not? Why I asking? I bought a new mask with T glass. I washed it with soft microfiber sponge and baby shampoo and I have scratches now from inside only. I used the fire technique you used and cleaned it again only with fingers. Scratches are there. Are very shallow ones and seems that inside there is a coat like ceramic. Can you help pls?
Agree completely Ollie, the burn is crucial. We have found that using Sea Drops before each dive is also a terrific benefit, spit is fine, but a single drop in each side rubbed in, then washed out after dropping in has been fantastic for us for quite a few years now.
First i doubted this, but then i saw the film burning off and i did it myself and then i polished it and now it doesnt even fog up when im breathing right onto the Glass! Amazing, thank you!!!
Hello, how did you polish it? I burned off the layer (didn't scrub with toothbrush yet) and it still fogs like hell. Have dived ~15 times after burning it :(
@@Thanasis_Tsiris i used "micro polish paste" but you can use fine toothpaste too, sadly it wont keep your goggles fogfree all the time, for ultimate effect buy johnsons Baby shampoo and rub one drop on the inside of the goggles before each dive, rinse it off for 1 second and youre ready to go
Oh i forgott to say, i put the Babyshampoo, let it dry for like 30 seconds, then wash it out really quick (like only a quick flushing) then i go dive 👍, it should last the whole day, next day i clean the goggles and repeat it 👍
I'm always afraid I'll burn my mask. This bit about the silicon not burning off easily really helps !!! thanks for the simple and straight to the point video !!!
@@TheShedStudiosthat's not why. It's a protective silicone layer that protects the lenses in transport. Note that doing this wil NOT eliminate fogging entirely. Masks fog because of the temperature difference between the water and inside of the mask which is heated by your head and nose. Always spit on the lenses before diving and the mask will never fogg up. Also, note that anti-fogging products are a waste of money.
Ive had my cressi dive masks fog since day 1 even when they had the antifog system. Took them out of the box today and burnt the film off and now having no fog or issues at all with them
Most fascinating thing happened to me recently on a trip to Grand Cayman, I finally enjoyed snorkeling for once after about 10 years of doing it. WHY? I bought polycarbonate on accident and no matter what you do to them - THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT FOG!!!! Everyone thinks tempered glass, but if you’re not diving beyond 15 feet, why would you bother with glass and fight this misery all day like I have for ten years. I quite literally had crystal clear vision for an hour plus each day and never one single time had to clear fog. What a revelation it has been. I’ve listened to every store manager tell me how much value there is in cressi, scubapro, etc and tempered glass only to throw them away because they weren’t even worth using. You travel to unique places the world over in search of crystal clear water only to battle fog. But some cheap polycarbonate lenses and enjoy the shit out of it!!!!! Best advice I can give anyone who doesn’t go deeper than 15-20 feet
I tried using toothpaste and rub it with toothbrush on my tempered cressi mask for about 2 mins each side. But it actually scratched my lens. It's fine scratches but still visible. Maybe I overdid it? It's not new mask, but as it started fogging I tried this toothpaste technique.
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit update it works perfect I just tried just do a little at a time let it cool off then go again because, if the glass gets too hot it puts those rainbow pattern torch burns in it it looks cool and doesn't affect the sight but if u have ocd just do what I said above 🤙

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit thanks for the prompt reply. i got it off amazon in my country. It came with a box and directions. It seems real but it is lacking any marking that says tempered or T anywhere that I can see. Their official video for it says that it is tempered, so I guess it must be. Also I see no T in their video for it. Seems a little strange for me though. I just tried the lighter trick. I could smell something chemical burned off. I guess it was the silicone residue. Then I did the toothpaste again. Then their brand defogger. Unfortunately after I got all ready to go out the wind starting kicking up here😅😅😅so I will try to go again earlier in the day tomorrow. It is a bit of a process for me to go to the beach. The sea water here is often polluted with plastic and other junk, sometimes trash even. Especially later in the afternoon after the wind and waves pickup. I saw a dead seabird yesterday, which was both sad and gross. Probably choked on some plastic. It takes me about 20 minutes or so after I leave my house and change into my wetsuit and snorkel gear before I go into the water. Do you think that it matters greatly if I use the defogger solution right before going in? I sort of prefer to use it before I leave my house, that way I can clean it with fresh water instead of the salty dirty sea water. I will test both ways and report back my findings.
Helpful vid! thank you for this brother. Question, when you say spit is this some idiom or is it literally spitting it with saliva? sorry! newb to diving here. thanks!
Cheers Ollie. Hey I have a pair of Mares goggles that look similar to yours (but have transparent rubber bits). They have a 'T' on the lens. Does that mean they are tempered glass? If not, is it dodgy to burn them?
Thanks mate. No matter what I used on the glass, no good. Returned to the shop and they sent it back saying use more soap. Watched the lighter method .......result ! 😂
Yep, I usually do both on a new mask. I've found some masks definitely do have a better quality glass. Main trick is to try not remove the mask once it's on face. Spit and rub lens leave on for few minutes, couple of dunks in water to rinse off, then onto face and try not to remove equals less fogging and way less leaking
Is this a coating the manufacturer wants on the lens? If so, why are we burning it off? If they don't want it on the lens, then why is it on there? I think I heard you say it's skirt silicone residue. Perhaps I misunderstood. If it's actually silicone, then you wouldn't think a quick hit with the lighter would do anything because of high melting point of silicone
No matter the quality of the mask, during the manufacturing process, a thin film of silicone oil condenses on the glass lens of your new dive mask. This oil will cause rapid fogging that is resistant to conventional anti-fog measures and must be removed. Anyway, In summary it needs to come off otherwise 95 percent of masks will fog. in my experience, more expensive masks are easier to defog, some not even needing it at all
Should be fine as long as the glass is tempered! It should have a symbol on the glass for you to check, or just call up the shop where you bought it from) cheers.
@@olliecraig-primalpursuitI soap clean at home then spit at the beach. Been enjoying your channel Ollie! I'm diving off Great Ocean Road, Victoria and looking forward to the water warming up :)
Hoep it works out for you. simetimes it takes a few dives to wear in. if still fogging after doing this once/twice and a few dives its probably just very poor quality glass
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit well I have two legit ones and then I just ordered another one , F1 Cressi made in Taiwan frameless... It was like 30 bucks so I figured I would give it a shot either way I'm going to burn them all and do this treatment
Yeah do both, then if still having problems it's probably the quality of the glass. Better quality masks from reputable brands are easy to prep and never fog. Cheaper ones take a loooong time to wear in and stop fogging from my experience. Worth the extra few bucks to get a good mask!
when you go out to buy a new mask, put it on without the straps, hold it to your face and inhale through the nose. If it stays on your face it will seal under water 100%, if it lets air in, it will leak under water....
Holy fuck I was losing my mind in the water. My mask fogged all the time no mater how much I spit in it. I think it was bc the waves rinsed it too much while I was trying to put it on. I got so pissed. I just did this, hope it helps next time I hit the water. If it does then you made my life
Hey mate, sometimes it can still take a bit for the mask to wear in and stop fogging, but if still persisting it's probably just a case of cheap quality glass. on the better quality masks you can almost go diving straight away without any issues. The cheaper ones can cause problems for ever..
Believe me or not, I bought three masks, Mares, Aqualung and Omer. Spent around $400 on all three, to have wonderfull time together with my family. Only one out of 3 were not foggy, I tried this trick - doesn't work, I bought gel $20 doesn't work, I burned again-nope, toothpaste-not helped. I asked refund for two masks-no chance because I used it, so I took an axe and destroyed it, just to feel better. I went to a public market an bought Chinese for $15. Now, 4th year I am using Chinese one. Even though I am sperafisher, I will nevere spend a single cent again in my entire life on some brand. I spend around 2-5 hours in the sea. No pain, no scars, no fog, no nothing on my face or mask. We are living in 21st century and they don't know how to make no-fog mask. :(
Interesting. I’ve generally found the opposite to be true. I’ve used many different masks and tried cheap ‘Chinese’ masks even though they mostly all come from China, and I’ve found the more expensive/branded masks don’t fog nearly as bad as cheap ones but hey everyone has different experiences. Also, I find the glass on more expensive masks is better quality with less distortion etc in the water. Sounds like you’ve got one that works for you though so maybe buy an extra as a spare! Also, best trick I’ve since learnt for anti fogging once used lighter etc, is to spit and rub saliva into the lenses before you dive, let it dry off for 10 minutes at least then wash/rinse in water before putting on face and this work’s amazingly
hé no one do the toothpaste thing on now fullface mask, I just scratched the hole freaking expensive mask. geez amazing. no one will say it. just lost 50 bucks.
Fog yes but there is a film/layer of something on the glass. It is a by-product of production. Along the lines of fumes etc given off from the silicon in production. Something like that, unsure specifically but there is in fact a film on the lens which you can either rub off with toothepaste etc or burn it off which is quicker and more effective.
