I recently cleaned my new mask with toothpaste, but after rinsing there seemes to be some toothpaste stuck under the frame of my mask (i have a cressi-sub big eyes). Is this a problem? or is it okay to just have it dissolve away over time?

I doubt it would hurt the skirt if that is what you are asking, but if you get toothpaste in your eyes, it'll hurt like H-E double hockey sticks. :11:
I would do my best to get it out of there. You might try soaking it in warm water for a while.

Take it to the shower and rinse it under a bit of force.

Now you did it! :11:

I'm afraid you no choice but to go diving with it now .... as much as possible! That should take care of the problem.

I found a water-pick to be useful in removing the undesirable knowns and unknowns from the cracks and seams of my mask.

electric toothbrush to get that stuff out. It works wonders - just be sure to get one that has a small head.

I use qtips to clean the gunk from under the skirt that I cant get with a soft clean cloth. But I agree that you have done it now. Get to diving
