    Redhot Jumper Rimless Frame Stress Crack Elimination

    Rimless Frames often show stress cracking that start at the screw holes, due to dull drills that rip the polycarbonate surface in the hole.

    A simple drop of "Drillseal" into the hole when mounting the lenses will cure this problem, and no warranty replacements are needed.

    ] How to Treat a Lens
    After drilling and just before mounting the lenses apply simply a drop of Drillseal into the screw hole. Any rips created while drilling through the action of the drill as minute little cracks or overheating will seal up and dry instantly.
