I haven't used it myself, they make a spray for motorcycle goggles that
creates a no-fog, no-static barrier for plastic. I've heard of others using
it on their face shields and the no-static surface no longer attracts dust.
(The dust is attracted by static).

I haven't found that to be a problem.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

After it has been on a few moments, the dust seems to disappear.

The interesting part is when you haven't done any ww for a few weeks, and then
put the facemask on
without checking it first. Bloody spiders.

spiders, that's my welding helmet ... I have to scrape the spider crap off the
glass at times when I haven't used it for a year or so ;-)

But the face shield thing has never worked for me. After half a mo' it used to
be so full of [muck] from the outside and so full of fog from the inside that
it became more dangerous working with it ON than OFF. So I stick with safety
glasses. The new ones have inserts with lenses for close work, which is even
better. Damn, but my eyes are going downhill fast.
