How can I fix broken eyeglass frames?
They’ve snapped right in half. I could solder it back together, but I don’t know if the solder would stick to the material of the frames well enough.
Any ideas?
The solder you’ll find in stores is way too soft to use to solder them back together. There’s an optical/jewelry solder called Pallarium that you can buy online that is a super hard, very high temp solder…which also means you’ll need a torch to melt it, not just a solder gun. Its not cheap…runs about $50 a pack of 12 small sticks…but it lasts a long time. There’s places online and often locally that fix glasses for small fees (or big fees, depending on where you live). Many times its just better to buy a new frame and have the lenses removed from the broken one and put into the new one.
