That's why it's good to wear a breathing mask when removing

This is great information--I did not know that this was lead based-- Better take a little more precaution -- Ts

Cylindrical visi glasses have the same stuff around the glass. I stole this from a free site.  litharge-glycerin cement [′li‚thärj ¦glis·ə·rən si′ment] (materials) Mixture of glycerin, water, and litharge (lead monoxide) to give, when cured, an acid-resistant cement. A yellow lead oxide, PbO, used in storage batteries and glass and as a pigment. Also called lead monoxide. [Middle English litarge, from Old French, alteration of litargire, from Latin lithargyrus, from Greek litharguros : lithos, stone + arguros, silver.]

Patients & T I M E, go S L O W. Brake Fluid is a good softening, & take your time.
I use a sawzall blade held in hand.
Never get in a hurry when working around glass & ALWAYS wear eye protection.

This is great information--I did not know that this was lead based-- Better take a little more precaution -- Ts During my younger days I never took any precautions with anything. I hate to think of what I inhaled, ingested or absorbed through my skin. My hearing is already bad (I am almost 50)from using power tools and equipment (and going to more than one loud concert) without using hearing protection. Its better to be safe than sorry. If any doubt, use protection. John
