Have problems with scope lenses fogging on those cold mornings hunting or at the range?Spray a small amount of WD-40 on a scope cloth,(very soft material to prevent scratches on the lenses)then wipe down the lenses of your scope.Use another scope cloth to wipe off the residue.Your lenses will no longer fog up and rain water will run off because of the coating.Also works on binoculars.

is a petroleum product and can easily eat away at that coating on your optics. I gotta disagree with greasy on this one. There are plenty of alcohol-based anti-fog sprays out there that won't destroy your optics. This is one place to avoid skimping.

I don't use anything. But I don't worry too much about fogging up here. My Wiley-X glasses came with a bottle of anti-fog stuff that I have in case I move back to Missouri or maybe Maine.

but look at what is used as a propellant in the can. Propane.

Is a banned substance in my shop. It is not that good and has been known to trap moister under it to allow rust to form.
WD-40 will never touch any of my collectable firearms.
Door hinges I might use it on, fire arms NO.
