ToothPaste????

Take a look at this. Scroll down to page 4 where he is talking about
eyewear. It is mentioned here that one "solution" is to rub
toothpaste on your lenses. I have NEVER heard of this as most of the
toothpaste I know of is and abrasive and would scratch the lenses.
Has anyone else even heard of this "solution"??????

This is a somwhat common technique used by some skin/scuba divers but
a few things are not mentioned in the article. He failed to mention
that the lenzes should not be plastic or they will get scratched for
the reasons mentioned. The non-gel type, at least, is abrasive.
Better alternatives are anti-fogging solutions sold for diving masks
or an even more readily available simple solution is baby shampoo
applied and then rinsed off. The slight film left behind woks well to
repress fog buildup. Hope this helps. - Jim McNamara

Think that I'll try the baby shampoo thing. Never tried that before
but it sounds good.
