Well, when I go scuba diving, we always spit on the inside of the mask…
Seriously, there are a number of compounds out there that they sell for the insides of ski goggles & such. NASA uses a dilute solution of no-tears baby shampoo
for the insides of the space suit helmet ever since one of the astronauts got temporarily blinded by a drop of the old anti-fog compound they were using. Personally, if it were my Cassens & Plath, I would just use a drop of diluted shampoo. Can always clean
it off if it doesn’t work.

Any hints or advises?
