I even thought of Pratley's putty or Sugru. Any suggestions for a glue to use? @ sawystertrance - I suspect that the super glue wont hold because of the plastic properties of the glasses frame. A way around it will be to use bicarb of soda as a binding agent when you use superglue (in short, it gives the glue something to hold onto). Caution though, its messy and doesnt always confirm to how you envisage it. But once its dry you can use your wife's emmery board to sand down the offending highspots of glue/bicarb sawystertrance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawystertrance Posted April 12, 2022 Share Thanks. May have to add some ink for colour though. And I'm just concerned that, if it doesn't work, I'll be worse off than before I started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
117 Posted April 12, 2022 Share I wouldnt add ink as it will disolve the powder, but any dark dry powder can work. edit: The brand is Q-bond that you're looking for. It comes with the dark colour powder you're needing. The ripoff artists at builders sell it, as do most local hardwares and midas/autozones too Edited April 12, 2022 by 117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawystertrance Posted April 12, 2022 Share Thanks so much. And I just mix this with a little bicarb of soda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
117 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Yip - google can also give you pointers as to how much bicarb to use. Caution though - its pretty instant in drying so make sure your ducks are in a row Above: Q-bond avaiable in most hardware/autoshops comes with the dark powder you might prefer. sawystertrance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just mix this with a little bicarb of soda? super glue with bicarb, Q-Bond does not need the bicarb. but if you go super glue route get decent quality super glue. If you can get hold of the stuff WURTH sells then get it, its WURTH it. Hairy, sawystertrance and Dexter-morgan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of you guys think it is possible to print a replacement? Photos below: I'll approach that repair as follws; Drill a 1mm hole 8mm eaither side to line-up and glue in with super glue. Then line the two sections up, super glue, sprinkle baking powder and connect. Let dry, sand and paint. Other option is check the local opometrists Hairy and sawystertrance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
