Glue

[Carl Sundquist]

I have an older pair of Arnette sunglasses where the nosepiece is glued to
the frame. It has come detached on one side. I've tried gluing it back on w/
superglue but it doesn't hold well or very long.

Any suggestions?

Your mistake was in trying to glue it to the glasses. Use the superglue to
attach it to your nose.

Perhaps a careful application of an epoxy would be a better way. I think
superglues are too brittle. Plus you might end up with a little more
surface area with glue on it with epoxy.

these other guys are clueless when it comes to advice expected of this
highly esteemed site.

use JB weld and smear it all over your face and lose the nose piece. apply
some to the glasses frame and then stick to face. it will double as sunblock
for those dangerous UV rays.

If the nosepeice is 'rubbery' you might try some barge cement. You
can get it at any shoe repair place or good hardware.

I think I have tried Barge Cement at one point and it didn't work. Maybe the
epoxy will. I think the problem is the nosepiece is probably some of that
hydrophilic (hope that isn't a marketing ploy) rubber and it seems to be
glue-o-philic, too.

Yes.

Buy a new pair of sunglasses.

Carl,

Clean off whatever glues you have tried and use an RTV
(Room Temperature Vulcanizing) adhesive such as ShooGoo,
Goop or Zap a Dap a Doo. This works very well for glueing
nose pieces back on and for creating new ones.

tubular glue. it works on many things that superglue and epoxy won't.

Maybe you can send them back to Arnette for repair? Oakley's got a good
repair policy, for example. (BTW, this belongs on rec.sunglasses.tech.
Where's Ken when you need him?)

This shouldn't be a repair that merits a return to the manufacturer. I'm
going to try the RTV/Shoe Goo stuff.

You're right though, I should have posted on a different newsgroup, but it

Shoe GOO. The packaging says 'better than glue'.

Carl,

Put a thin layer on both surfaces and let it sit for 5-10
minutes before putting them together.

Confused and seeking help, he turns to his friends at the virtual
palace. But they are false friends, and return nothing but abuse
and scorn, calling him "Dumbass".

In a rage he turns off the computer and sings "Lafferty ? una merda
stupid". Later he joins Pappy, Righello Supremo, for a rousing
duet, "LANCE, il re".

That's what I have as a start. We still need a love interest. This
being an opera set in Arkansas it would work out OK if she were
a little on the heavy side.

Plus, you can you it to build up the heel pieces of your
old, "broken-in" Sidis when they wear down.

Not that the rest of us, Carl's false friends, ever have to do
that, what with our fattie masters sponsorship deals.

I guess we'll be seeing a lot of this one from you, eh??? Nice...

I notice in the last frame, it looks like the Village People are
watching.
