Usually I don't wear my glasses when spraying. I use rattle can watco. Anyway I got spray dots on my glasses. This must have happened to someone out there before. I could scrape with a razor blade or use lacquer thinner. Any other suggestions.

Actually I would suggest trying the solvent first!!

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Be carefull around the edges so you don't sand through.
Sorry, are they glass or polycarbonite?
The only safe cleaner for polycarbonite that I found (on the web) that I could pronounce was kerosene.

I used methyl hydrate to clean nitro off of my glasses a few years ago.

If they are glass just use acetone.

Two words... GLASS LENSES! I have ruined plastic lenses in less than a week after being talked into buying them. Never again. In my experience, strong solvents will damage most plastic lenses.

You might be surprised what soaking for a day or to in just water and vinegar will do.

If that don't get the pig clean, then up the anti to the mild, low volatility petroleum distillates commonly called Mineral Spirits or White Spirit off continent.

If that don't work...go here http://www.eyebuydirect.com/ Prescription glasses cheap like borscht.
