Repairs

• ​​​​​​​The first step in mending a frame is to identify the type of breakages and cracks.

• During the mending process, industrial grade adhesive or acetone is used to tack together breakage and stabilize it. Then, sturdy splints are inserted to reinforce the repair.

• Lastly, after the frame has been mended, the legs of the splint are removed, and the frame is cleaned up.

• Please note that every repair is unique. While many mends are virtually invisible, some repairs may be noticeable, especially with transparent frames where an internal splint is often visible.
