Cutting Lenses - What Works

[350nick]

Anyone know of a good donor lens for the new eye jacket? 1999-2002 model. I've been in touch with Oakley Europe on the off chance they had some but no luck.

Thinking custom cut might be my only option! Wanting some +red iridium

anyone know of good donor lens for oakley ice picks? i havnt been able to find any replacements anywhere, been in contact with oakley and they couldnt even point me in the right direction.

Safest bet is the plaintiff lenses, nice and wide to fit the ice pick lens.

 

[vr1p]

regular plaintiff lens or plaintiff squared?

 

[salj838]

Regular plaintiff should work fine.

I damaged the Iridium coating in the nose-bridge section of a Batwolf lens, and came up with a crazy idea. I was thinking of removing the Iridium coating from the bridge area of the lens, which would give the shield lens a dual lens look. Has anyone tried this before? Would it be possible?

its very hard to remove the iridium. It only seems to come off where it wants and no where else from what I've experienced.

What were you using to take it off? I was thinking of masking off the keeper part of the lens and then going at the bridge with very low grit wet sandpaper. Either that, or I could get more aggressive and sand past the coating and etch into the lens itself. I'm just wondering if there would be issues with the good parts of the lens peeling.

I hadn't even thought of that! If nothing else works out, is Batwolf an acceptable donor for anything (Gascan S according to the chart, but anything else)?
