awful problems on holiday and in general with my mask fogging
..... after 6 or 7 dives started fogging even after more paste.

If you don't clean the mask first,
the defog or spit will be useless.


I find that after a while both my masks will start fogging. A clean
with warm soapy water resolves this (usually washing up liquid) so
that the usual method of wiping spit around works again. I guess that
over time a mixture of grease and snot adhere to the inside and that
makes it fog.


It's usually caused by mould release agent left on the skirt when it was
made that migrates on to the lenses, so it pays to clean both thoroughly.
