Anti-fog for glasses that works

He was like a snake oil salesman at a country side show, and there was a crowd around him as he demonstrated this amazing product which kept glasses, mirrors, etc from fogging up even when exposed to steam. Ordinarily I've always been wary of scenes like that, but I couldn't resist buying this thing for $1. The stuff was called Nu Clear-X and was marketed by: Palantic Products 1258 Howard Street San Francisco 3, California Of course, a Google search on the product name or company turns up nothing. It's a piece of what looks like wax, and pink in color, square cross section, 3/4" on the side and was originally about 2.5" long. My piece is now down to just under 1" long. This stuff works pretty damn well. I figure I'll run out some day soon. I have a spray bottle of what purports to be an antifog and anti-static solution but it sure doesn't work as an antifog. Sometimes I really need to not have my glasses fog up. For instance, when wearing a dust mask or goggles. Surely, there are some products (or maybe home remedies) that work for this. Can I get some recommendations? Thanks. Dan If you only used 60% of it in 45 to 50 years, why do you think the other 40% is going to be used up "some day soon"? ;-) By my calculations you must be in your early to mid 60s (teenager in 50's) so you should be in your 90s before using that 1" piece up :-) |
