There is something you could try... it is a CD cleaner and restorer from JML. It comes with a little bottle of liquid that ';fills'; in scratches on CD's so they are playable again. This might well work for his specs as I used it on a pair of sunglasses and they came up a treat.

You can use a superfine wet sandpaper to get deep scratches out. Start with 800 or 1000 and go finer and finer. Then you can go to an automotive store and get a plastic polish and a small buffing pad that you can put in a drill and polish the lens. The easiest thing is call the place you bought them and see if they buff lenses. Many eyeglass stores do.Anyone got any idea how to move scratches from spec lens.

The lenses will need resmoothing and re polishing by an optical engineer. Very expensive, cheaper to buy another pair.
nope, once it's scrathed, that's it. You'll have to get new lenses
I agree with nicole, but afterwards try useing the toothpaste.
He should have gone to Spec Savers! i think once you scratch the lens of glasses they need to be replaced and next time get scratch resistant ones that's what i have had them 3 years and no scratches
I think you will find there is nothing you can do as anything you do could change the lens and thereby make it different to look through.
Try taking them to an optician though - they may be able to offer some help.
You can remove very fine scratches by polishing the lenses with toothpaste. Takes a while but they really smell fresh afterwards.
thats done it then sorry Oh no more expense
There is a substance called jewellers rouge that you could try.
Personally i would try at a jewellers shop to buy some, and then ask the jeweller if he thought it would work. An optician also has machines for polishing, they may do it for you if you ask. Google 'jewellers rouge' you can use it on glass. You can also buy it on line.
Hi
I don't think you can - try the optician to see if they can do it. I tried to take out a small scratch with non-scratching miracle stuff that cleans ceramic hobs - major mistake, I had to get new glasses.

Tips on how to paint my fireplace?
I basically just want to Paint my fireplace to a simple neutral color and if you can give me some advice that would be great.
Also how should i clean my fireplace before painting what should i do?
My fireplace is red brick from bottom to top.
It stops right to the ceiling.
Tips on how to paint my fireplace?
This is an easy task! Make sure the surface is clean and free of debris. You can use any type of surface cleaner, but I recommend something with a de-greaser in it. Just be sure to rinse the surface. Depending on what color you chose, you may need to prime the surface prior to painting. Choice of paint also varies, but I would go with an oil base to ensure durability.
***Helpful Tip***
Speak to a paint specialist at you local hardware store.Tips on how to paint my fireplace?
It depends on whether or not you are painting the inside or out. If you paint the out side and not the mantel use a latex because it is a thermal plastic meaning that it expands and contracts with the heat and the cold.
If you are painting the inside and you plan on using the fireplace then you need to go with a high heat paint and if you plan on using a neutral color then you need to call a paint rep and have him tell you which paint to use

How can you describe the vernacular in Dutch painting. How do you connect it to Bacon's philosophical ideas
Sir Francis Bacon proposed that nature is for the use of man, that things from nature are to be used for and by man. Dutch painting, particularly the still life of over-flowing tables, showed the bounty of nature and it's use by man.
However, Dutch painting also emphasized that all things pass away--the rotting things in the still-life. One could say that although man uses nature, man himself is ruled by the laws of nature and will ultimately die.How can you describe the vernacular in Dutch painting. How do you connect it to Bacon's philosophical ideas
A lot of Dutch painting is 'scenes of everyday life' and 'still life'. Bacon - who? Francis? Roger?origins

My ceilings been painted with watered down paint more water then paint how is it going to effect it?
I paid someone to paint my popcorn acoustic ceiling in my bedroom. I think he tried to rip me off and instead of painting it, I think he mixed flat wall paint with water in a hand sprayer and just sprayed the ceiling to clean it and make it appear more white. I never saw a single bucket of paint, or any rollers, there was no taping anything off, or using something to cover my floor or plastic for the walls etc. The ceiling looks like puffy mash potatoes. It looks about 3 times the size it use to be, like white clouds. Plus there is a ring around my ceiling fan that extends outward about 5' and its a different color then the rest of the ceiling. How would I know if he sprayed it with water vs painting it? AND if he did over wet the ceiling, what will happen from here? If there is water trapped behind the acoustic now, will it weigh it down and start falling off? Will the water dry out eventually? Will it mold under the acoustic popcorn? Does a painted acoustic ceiling look like puffy clouds 3'; thick when painted for the first time? Is it possible to paint it wihtout leaving any type of mess at all? What should I do?My ceilings been painted with watered down paint more water then paint how is it going to effect it?
Kndkcook2, painting a popcorn ceiling should be done with a airless sprayer and it sounds to me like you've been had. Yes, there's been too much water or paint applied here and that's why the ceiling looks like this. If it's dry and has this appearance there's a good chance the texture will begin to crack and come down in pieces and maybe sheets. If it does your going to have to scrape down and redo the cieling.
If your going to have to remedy this yourself I can walk you through a likely fix, but we'll need to get on it pretty much right away before the texture starts to let go. Without actually seeing it I'm making an educated guess from the past experience of going in after someones done what you've described; and if so, the remedy is fairly easy and shouldn't require you to have or purchase or rent expensive tools.
I'm going to pass you the ball here and now simply say that you need to review who I am. . . if you want me to help you out subsequent to this answer then get back to me and I'll do what I can to further help you out with this. In closing I'm goiing to state that in the future always be sure of the competence and ethic of who you bring into your home to do work; if the individual or persons are not known by reputation, thoroughly check them out by asking for a customer/client list; call them and/or look at their work.

Ideas on how to paint my room:) ?
Do you have any good ideas?
what colors?
or patterns or designs.
something cool.
i am 15 :) Ideas on how to paint my room:) ?
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:
http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/
I think it would look cool to paint a diamond or checker pattern in ';plum blossom'; (# 6974) and ';rosebay'; (# 6563).
You can also take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
http://www.roomvues.com/
You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.Ideas on how to paint my room:) ?
This is a pretty cool paint job. I had this vision in my mind of a light blue/light green/white stripey kind of thing, so I tried to see if there was a pic like it online. I didn't find it but I did find this:
