JT Flex 8 Full Head

Hi everyone!... i have the above mask and it's great!! the only problem I have is that the other day while I was cleaning it I had the brilliant idea of putting it in water and now i have water marks everywhere in between the lens!! I never thought about it and now I don't know how to clean it... any ideas?... thanks!!!!

The only safe way would probably be to buy new lenses unfortuantely.

Re: JT Flex 8 Full Head

if you are using a thermal lens your not supose to submerge it under water. only thing i could think of is buy a new lens.
and always read instruction befor using or cleaning just a friendly tip.

Re: JT Flex 8 Full Head

I have the flex 8 that is not the full helmet, but same lens. Mine had the inside lens not totally attached, and when washing it I got water in there. You might try pulling the inside lens off at the corner, putting more water in there to get the water marks out, then drain, and hit it with a hair dryer (don't get the hair dryer too close).

Re: JT Flex 8 Full Head

I think ChicagoJay has the right idea, you may also want to try running in some rainx before hitting with the hairdryer.

Hair dryer may be a good way to go... I'd stay clear of the rainx though. The chemicals in rainx aren't safe for plexi-glass (unless you've got the stuff they make for plexi boat windshields - and even then I wouldn't use it). If you use the wrong stuff on plexiglass you can make it brittle and it'll shatter.

My $.02 - hope it helps - good luck with the waterspots
