I did the silly procedure of turning on my lathe while there was still

stupidness my not wiping off the polish from my glasses right away, and
now it's "permanetly" stuck. Being very persistant, a light fingernail
scratching proved futile. Using a sharp object such as a razor blade is
out of the question, as this would scratch the surface. I suppose
there is some kind of solvent that I can use to remove the polish
without damaging the rest, but I'm not brave enough to test it out
unless others have used such. Now the question remains - what should I
do/use to remove it?

Thanks!

You can take your glasses to your optician. Bet you a nickle that he
will use acetone to clean them.

Hey Jim... how ya been??


Note: those who need to try acetone and plan to use the wife's nail polish
remover should make sure that it's not "acetone free" as that's very popular
these days..DAMHIKT
