[TheForge] didymium glasses?

[Chuck Robinson]

Doug is right the gold coating is delicate.
10 or 12 years  ago someone on the forge list sent me a website of a company 
that imbedded the foil layer inside the plastic shield. I didn't need one at 
the time and unfortunately my computer had a brain fart several years ago 
and I lost the site. Does this ring a bell with anyone.
There are several safety equipment companies that sell the same shield that 
I have.
