Tried this too. Works, somewhat. Keep in mind that because there is water between the lenses and mask the refraction will cause the prescription to no longer be correct.
In the case of just needing readers then trial and error as suggested above can work.
However with full script glasses T&E...
Don't let the nay-sayers dampen your efforts.
I played around with the exact same idea in my single lens mask. I needed more than just magnification due to astigmatism and other vision issues. I couldn't just used "drop in" readers.
I did metal and plastic framed cheap rx glasses, using a...
Not to be confused with "hmmmmmmr" I suppose? :cool:
On a serious note, this appears to be skin prep, but not so much a cleaner. Does it also work at removing the adhesive remover residue or should I use another cleaner prior to using this?
Due to the "turtle effect" I've had a difficult time keeping the texas cath attached for more than an hour at a time. Simply put as my member turtles it rolls itself out of the cath, glue be damned.
I tried using durabond on the crown of the cath along with a thorough cleaning of my buddy with...
I think sometimes we can get into the mode of earning credentials as quickly as possible and focus on checking as many boxes as possible with each training session.
As former Box-Checker I've been guilty of trying to get as many boxes checked out of each session my entire life. I had fallen...
All great info above.
I've been sewing standard nylon strap material (.75" & 1") on a regular sewing machine for years. I use a #18 needle, usually ball point. Ball point needles tend to move between the threads of the weave as opposed to splitting them. zig-zag bar stitches seem to work as...
Once you know your size keep an eye out on ebay. Often times you can find full boxes for <50% retail especially if they are out of date.
i have done this several times now and have had zero problems
No problem accepting help when offered...and desired. But I'd rather do my own hook up, tank strap setting and alignments.
Where I have issues are on those charters where the crew is often only working for tips and they don't ask, they just do. I especially have issue when I politely refuse...
I am afraid you missed the entire point of my post. And I am most certainly not mocking the liability issue.
I will clarify though. When we act first and foremost, if not exclusively, with liability as our impetus then we are playing a defensive game, and defensive games are always losing...
Frustrated hearing the responses, "Liability! Liability! Liability!" If that is what we focus on then we will have a industry standard quality of training that is no different than the quality of "defensive medicine"; costs driven up, quality forced down, availability inhibited, and expenditure...
I started using my homemade baby shampoo based defogger to help me slide my hands through my wrist seals and my billiard ball skull through my neck seal. Have also used it on my zippers in a pinch as well with excellent results.
Will now try it on my Rolock rings to see if it helps.

Folks were looking for the QD such as can be bought at McMaster. Below is a link to the one that I have used for my P-tube.
I've also used them but in a different size for my agriculture tubes. Very pleased with how well they work.
Tubing QD
Lots of good thoughts on both side of this discussion but I lean heavily towards self-servicing of any life-safety gear, or at the very least having an intimate knowledge of how it works and why.
It astounds me how many folks will express they are too frightened to service their own...
