Small scale ar coater. Something like the Chemalux, but something that works. Tried the Chemalux on site for several days with one of their reps. Could not get any quality out of the product. I...
A new surfacing lab with 3 axis free form capabilities. Any ideas?
Poly or Trivex photochromic finished stock lenses with 2.0 centers for safety eyewear. Useage would probably be 250 -350 pair per year. Any takers?
Thanks Gemstone!
From what I understand, Kirk is no longer doing business.
When I did glass at another corporate store, we never had these issues. Out of the ten or so we have done here so far, at least 4 have...
I recently purchased a Semi-Tech ST-EU-00 monogram machine for my glass safety eyewear. Unfortunately, it did not come with templates. Anybody out there know where I can order templates?
I recently purchased a Kirk AA2 glass lens air hardner. We have had mixed results when drop balling. Several have shattered, even after the polariscope showed a good pattern. I need two things.

Wily-X all the way! The Brick w/ a low FT-28 in polar grey w/ backside ARC, or if you want a PAL, use the SSSLK. It is flatter, so less distortion. Most Wiley-Xs come with removeable foam inserts....

Done deal guys. Thanks
Anybody know where I can get a glass air hardner?
Also, put some limits on your Rx range for rimless eyewear. -6.00 or +6.00 will usually look pretty ugly and have adjustment issues on rimless eyewear.
We take it because we have our own lab and can eat some pretty big discounts. I mean REALLY BIG DISCOUNTS! Did I remember to mention the DISCOUNTING that you will have to do? But it is profitable to...

I am considering stocking the new AO Ultra Compact, but have heard mixed reviews. I have a great lab, but Essilor will not qualify me because I also have a dispensary. What do you guys reccommend? ...
If the lenses are popping out the top middle, you can usually (depending on rx) use a 6 base on Wiley-X. If the frame flattens and the temples spread, you need to go back to the 8 base (but then...
There is a difference between warranty and insurance. If you wrap your new BMW around a telephone pole, BMW does not give you a new car under warranty. The insurance will give you a new car...
