Crimson Phoenix Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 So, I'm finally ordering AP armor, but I'm displeased with the lenses, and how you can see my eyes. Does anyone know where I can get better ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Runnnriottts lens are the best. Ive used 2 sets so far and have another set in hot standby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BH5204[501st] Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I went to a welding place and got a dark green flexible replacement shield for about $10 and cut it to the size I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnriottt Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have seen welders shields go cheap, and expensive depending on where you go... If you can find em, cutting your own might yeald you about 3 sets if your careful. I use a machine to cut mine. I try to offer mine at a discounted price... The post office and Paypal are killing me. LOL... But that protects everybody, so I pay it... There are choises out there, depending on what you want, and how you want to look. There is a trooper here selling Plexi Thick ones, I put out thinner flex welders shield ones grade 3, not the plain un coated ones. There is a difrence in shields. I have seen some on ebay in grey plexi as well as bubble. I only do stunt. Thanks for the good words smitty, I will keep on trying to offer them at the least amount possible. I just wish the dollar was doing better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk0000[501st] Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm going with a dark welders shield. I actually used it for my fett and have some left over. i paid about $14 locally. I would use a dremil to cut it. i broke my first one trying to cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dark so no one can inside. You can see out good. I've had flash photography within a few feet of my face and you can't see anything.

The search feature is your friend. --------- Smitty said: From what I understand you can take some flat lens drop one into boiling water till it becomes flexible place it over the eye hole on the inside of a the helmet and then use a spoon to push out a bubble shape before the lens hardens back up when it cools. There is a proper tutorial on here, but in my quickie search I wasn't able to find it.

steelgrip Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I got a dark green replacement shield from work today to try my hand at cutting some lenses for my bucket,the shade is IR/UV #5.0...will that be too dark? the outer part of the shield looks almost black but it's definately green when you look through it.
