    FULLY RESTORED LENS IN WORKING CONDITION - JUST ADD A FRAME
    HERE IS THE PROCESS:
    Lens with crack or chip that goes all the way through. Restored See next photo.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Area is spot heated to melt plastic, resin is added and deprived of oxygen and a UV cure drop is mixed in.
    The area is polished and the restored area or areas are stronger than the original lens. This will not crack or run.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This is a larger crack that is in the process of running or getting bigger. Next photo shows the restoration.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The same process listed above is applied but an ultra-highspeed device is also used to permanently stop the crack.
    This will NOT re-crack or run. Again, these restored areas are stronger than the rest of the lens.
    Frequently Asked Questions:
    Q: Does the scratches or restoration areas reduce solar performance.
    A: Less than one percent. The area of minor scratches and restorations do block a bit of sunlight but
    they are much less than one percent of the total area.
    Q: Will the restored crack reopen or run when used or handled.
    A: NO, the restored area is stronger than the rest of the lens and this process has been perfected
    over a 3 year period. It is UV resistant, resistant to temperature extremes and is not affected
    by cleaning, washing, or weather (humidity or rain). It is solid.
    Q: Why are you selling these now?
    A: These lenses have been stored in a controlled environment for a few years. We have perfected
    the process of restoration and they are ready to go. Spot Fresnel Lenses are becoming very, very
    rare. This gives the backyard scientist on a budget a great lens at a great price. I actually
    use scratch and ding lenses in most of our Youtube videos. Long lasting and powerful!
    Q: Do these lenses have the same buyer protection and
    money back guarantee as your other lenses?
    A: YES, ALL GREENPOWERSCIENCE products are backed with a full 14 day customer satisfaction that currently
    has our rating at 100%. Please check our feedback!
    Any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    We would not sell these if they did not work and
    were not 100% tested for solar usage.
