Model Forum / General / Models / February 2010De-misting a sand blaster window
My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window constantly mists up externally from my breath. Especially in the current cold weather it becomes a right pain, but even in more normal times it's a problem. I have thoughts of installing some sort of blower to give a cross draught, possibly with a heater, but cannot find anything small enough not to be cumbersome. Any suggestions welcome, but lets not start a heavy breathing thread! AWEM > My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window > constantly mists up externally from my breath.

I'm thinking vaseline, but probably wrong...

Washing up liquid, wiped on then polished off is what I use on the visor.

Overall mount area about 25 x 100 weight 400g. If any good you can have one for the postage. They are ex photo copier. I am in Cheltenham.

My video card even has a diddy one mounted on it. SignatureDave Baker > My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window > constantly mists up externally from my breath.

A little neat washing up liquid rubbed on stops the misting for quite a while. Isn't that what posh divers use on the inside of their goggles - common ones use spit :-) Julian. >> My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window >> constantly mists up externally from my breath.

I wonder if it's still available :-)) Henry >> My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window >> constantly mists up externally from my breath.

I have some of the hydrophobic liquid (I can't remember the name and the label is missing, so not a good sales pitch) designed for car windscreens, shower doors, binoculars etc. If you want I can stick a small vial in the post for you to try. > >> My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window > >> constantly mists up externally from my breath.

Rain-X Anti Fog: http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/rain-x/anti-fog.aspx but washing up liquid may work just as well, that's what I used to use on my visor. >> My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window >> constantly mists up externally from my breath.

Julian. Andrew Mawson formulated the question : > My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window > constantly mists up externally from my breath.
