Step 7Glue the Lenses to the Goggles (Flat Lenses)
Follow these instructions if your lenses are almost flat, or overlap all the way around the frames.
1. Mix the epoxy very well.
2. If the epoxy is very runny at first, you may want to wait till it thickens a little. Just don't wait too long, because when it begins to harden, it will harden quickly!
3. Apply the glue all the way around the edges of the frame where the lenses overlap. Put just enough so that there will be a good bond between the frame and the lens. I made the mistake of putting a little bit too much the first time and making a mess.
4. Position the lenses onto the frames, and fill in any gaps with epoxy. Make sure that there is a watertight seal between the lenses and the goggles.
5. Hold the lenses in place until the glue hardens. It should only take a few minutes.

Wouldn't it be better to glue the lenses inside the goggles?
it looks that there remains an air bubble between the goggles and the lens,
if it fills with water, this is no good. So the glue is not only to hold the
lens in place, but also to create an air-tight bubble.
