Hi all,
We all know goggles don't last 5 minutes before they become so
scratched up they're impossible to see through. These scratches
typically arise as a result of us wiping "dust" off the lenses (this
isn't household "dust" it's usually abrasive particulates formed from
grinding and sanding activities).
So.... has anyone tried taking a brand new pair of cheap goggles and
protecting them with a layer of clingfilm? You know, like the racing
drivers do. I'm just thinking maybe the useful life of these wretched
things could be extended indefinitely by the addition of a little
clingfilm. Anyone tried it?

Once I was short of indirect vent goggles, and had some unwanted direct vent that I noticed had the same shape of optical plastic, so swapped the piece over to the indirect vent set. Not something Icba to do normally, but at the time it was the quickest solution.

I'd be surprised if cling was clear enough and offered much protection. Try it & tell us.
