Anti mist coating, I think ive cracked it!

[Ribenapigeon]

The recipe is.... 85% water 10% sugar and 5% detergent.

Ive been experimenting on and off for ages and finally landed on this mix. Recovering from a hernia op so not able to test on the bike but my tests on the bathroom mirror and my old helmet visor indoors have worked with this mix. The water is just a medium but its the sugar which has the hydrophilic properties that prevent misting and the detergent wets out the water/sugar mix.

So practically will this sit as a spray in an old kitchen cleaner squirt bottle or something?

Washing up liquid detergent?

How long before you’re able to work again and test this yourself?

How many of the regulars on here still work for a living?

How good is the mix for dry days?
I'm wondering if it will attract dust. Yes you're wiping it dry but will dust stick to the layer??

I can see the chemistry angle, but I wonder how reversible this will be and for how long? The sugar will, indeed, absorb water but unless you force dry it this will likely be a one-time thing and it will probably sit there quietly deliquescing even when you are not wearing it.

Have you tried different sugars, or just sucrose? How about salts? And also, is the film that you apply visually transparent?

It must drive you crazy that most immigrants are hard working.

Are immigrants good for de-misting/anti-misting a visor or should I use the 3.4% unemployment solution in de-fatted H2o?

Just like MPD, sugar is abrasive.
