Wow, like acetone on acetate?

You've got to tell me what it is so I can try it out. I've got an optyl frame I'd like to try it on.

And Judy, we asked Safilo for one of those bottles for the book so we could shoot it ourselves but all they could do was send us a picture. I'd have still included it but the editing process was hectic and went down to the wire. There were deadlines. It was a struggle to whittle the book down below 400 pages. It really could have been 600 pages. At some point when it was done I noticed the bottle wasn't in there. I still have a 66 page technical manual about optyl somewhere.

It's a beautiful plastic. Is it true that if you heat it thoroughly it's easy to use? I've heard different feedback from opticians. Some love it some hate it.
