    polaroid glasses and reading instruments

    I have Costa Del Mar with the grey lens and do not have a problem reading LCD screens unless I turn my head sideways so that the glasses are vertical and not horizontal. I think this is the case with any polarized sunglasses. 8)

    E-15 - Just say no!

    Just sent the e-mail. Very easy to do and only takes a minute. I've had enough problems in small motors and outboards with E-10, I can't imagine how bad E-15 is going to be.
