Anti-fog for transparent plastic mpcs

[tubaaron]

Anyone has any experience with a suitable anti-fog spray or any substitute you've found useful (and relatively harmless!) for transparent, plastic mouthpieces? I think those type of mouthpieces, aside from plenty of other wonderful uses, makes a good pedagogical tool in terms of being able to see embouchure placement whilst playing, but the fog kinda gets in the way. Thanks in advance!

I've used an anti-fog fluid in a diving mask. Apply a small amount to the mask lens, then dip in the water. I don't know what it is, but looking it up, I see that divers often use saliva, and I suppose the point is simply to maintain a fluid coating on the inside surface.

Many moons ago, when I still had a motor bike, the recomended anti-fog for visors was a smear of washing up liquid. Can't honestly say I remember actually trying it.

The stuff I use in my dive mask is simethecone-based. It's a silicone polymer used in things like anti-gas/bloating meds. But, it seems like a thin film of food grade mineral oil might work, too. That shouldn't cause any problems downstream in the valves...
