My Answer:<br>You could Super-glue the joint, then wrap thread around
the entire bridge and super-glue that for extra strength. (be careful
not to get glue on your lenses.) For extra style, use a bright color
thread. :)<br>
<br>My Wife's (the optician) Answer:<br>Repairing plastic frames can be
tricky. Superglue tends not to hold more than a couple of weeks in this
application. You could try melting the frame back together, but if not
done just right, its easy to mess the frame up. You might want to call
"All American Eyeglass Repair" in Hayward and see if they can help.<br>

- tape works for a bit<br>
- super glue can work, but eventually breaks, leading back to #1<br>
<br>
So you want to probably find super-extra-strong-glue.<br>
<br>
But be careful on using those plastic-melting-glues, you could mess<br>
your frame up worse!<br>
