Repairing glasses

[Tom]

I just found an old pair of titanium-framed glasses I damaged years back. The optician told me that titanium frames couldn't be repaired, so silly me just put them in a cupboard and bought some new ones. But there are places online who say they can fix them. It's only the nosepad bit and it doesn't look particularly difficult since the two pads are part of a single piece of metal soldered/welded to the bridge.

Has anyone had this done and can you recommend the company who did it? These frames are miles lighter than my current glasses, which I don't really like any more.

I would take it to (and don't laugh here) a TV repair shop or similar and ask them to have a try. Some of those old school TV boys can solder like Jebus, if Jebus could solder and was real and wasn't nailed to some planks or something.

Agree with @Trem Take a loaf of bread to one of them TV jebuses and they turn it into wine.

I also agree with @Lakih who agreed with me about Jebus and his soldering skills….I may of got confused/religious somewhere along the way.

I agree with you who agrees with Lakih who agrees with you.

What about Jebus you racist?

 

[Raven]

He probably doesn't wear glasses but I imagine if he came over as a dirty immigrant he would be a monster with the soldering iron. He would put @Job's mates out of business in a week.

Perhaps Tom needs to demand that jesus fixes his glasses, he should demand it from the nearest roundabout, preferably with it written on a bedsheet.

Jebus is a bit of a cunt.

Having worked in the industry (woooh - go me) I'd say take em to another Optician. They can always send them back to the labs. If you're willing to pay then why shouldn't they.

Another anti lord solderist nazi

It's not an easily manageable metal and needs to be welded. It's difficult and the finish will most likely be shit.

I suspect 'can't be repaired' means 'can't be fucked and it'll look like one of Wazz's almond fudge cakes anyway' xx
