Question about Suomy blue Iridium face shield flaking?

Has anybody any problems with their Iridium shields flaking? It seems that the mirrored finish and color are starting to flake off around the bottom edge and the tab you use to flip the shield up with. Ive only had the shield for a few months and have only been really caught in the rain once. I use the Motosport Cleaner and Polish to clean it. Any ideas would be most welcome. Thanks

Answer:

No, the glue won't work. Just go to Home Depot and get the PEX fittings. They will attach PEX to CPVC.
1. First a thick, soft, clear plastic layer. This layer comprises the majority of the CD's thickness and weight. It serves two purposes. First, it protects the data layer from damage on the play side and Secondly it acts as a lens to focus the CD player's laser onto the data layer so it can more easily read the data (much the way lenses in spectacles help eyes focus on the words on a page). 2. Next the data layer is where the music and any other information are stored. It's the layer that the CD player reads in order to create the music, graphics, etc. The data layer is molded or pressed into the top of the clear plastic layer. The data in the data layer is arranged in tracks that spiral like the grooves on a vinyl record (except CDs are read from the inside out, the opposite of vinyl records). 3. Now a reflective, metallic layer is located on top of the data layer. It allows the disc to function like a mirror, reflecting the CD player's laser back to the detector in the CD player after it reads the data layer It's this layer that gives the CD's play side a shiny appearance. 4. A thin, hard protective layer is an ultra-thin plastic coating that is added to provide some protection for the reflective and data layers, while also forming a surface upon which the label information can be printed. 5. Finally the label layer is printed on top of the protective layer. It contains the title, graphics, band and other information to identify the contents of the disc. (label side).
The glue will only work for the intended piping system. A shark bite fitting will transition from PEX to CPVC to copper. It is a brass fitting, that pushes on to the end of any of these pipes, and once on, will hold leak free. If you need to remove the fitting, there is a small tool, that when used, will remove the fitting in order to access the system, or to reconnect a different type of pipe. There are now more companies bringing their version of these fittings, that can't be removed. Good luck!
