Yesterday i went paintballing adn like most people i get annoyed by condensation build up. When i got home i was cleaning my gun for storage and oiling all the parts. While oiling i got an idea. So i got my mask and put about 4 drops of oil on the front and rubbed them in with an old rag, i did the same with the inside. Now my mask repells water like crazy. Its basically a cheap anti-fog/condensation build up remedy. Try it its kool

That may be a bad idea. Your mask lense is made of polycarbonate, and some solutions such as windex or Dow 55 lubrication may 'cause the material to degrade, making your mask weaker. I'd suggest replacing your lense, and next time using anti-fog solution. I very strongly urge you to replace your lense, because a weakened lense may colapse if you get gogged

No kidding- I think it's OK to tinker with guns to a degreee- nothing major, but masks- The most I've done is camo it- and All I cammoed was the plastic nose plate.
