What do you guys use to get over-spray off Plastic Reading Glasses?
Concerned if I use something to powerful it could melt the plastic or
distort it.

thanks



just so happens I had this issue today! layed my glasses [plastic
lenses] on the bench and sprayed some rattle can poly. OOPS!!!!. I am
near sighted and dont need them to do up close work. I used laquer
thinner on a paper shop towel. It cleaned em right up but left streaks
so Ishot some windex on em and they're good as new. DONT USE
ACETONE!!!! DAMHIKT...... :-]


I generally use paint thinner, rather than lacquer thinner on my glasses.
If you have any coatings on your glasses, the coating will likely not
respond well to applications of lacquer thinner. Left on long enough and
lacquer thinner can fog plastics too.
