[Noisebridge-discuss] Fixing my Glasses

[Robert Belknap]

My Answer:
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. :)

My Wife's (the optician) Answer:
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.

(She's not affiliated with that shop, but she has sent some people their way
in the past.)
