Hinge is faulty as the metal broke and the temple fell off. Using superglue, it is fixed.

Actually, my glasses broke, just like that. I took them to an optics place to have them repaired and the man told me that it was impossible. When I asked why, he said: because there is no access. So I got in here, found your video and liked it. I followed your instructions and I fixed them myself!!! They are not perfect, but they are put together and won't come off. I feel they will tie me over until I get my new prescriptions in a month or two. Thank you so very very much!

Wtf? 200$ for eyeglasses? Are there a jewel or just plastic with aluminium? Don't let eyeglasses manufacturers scam you.

I have done this a few times on the same glasses and it holds for a while definitely but I was watching a totally unrelated video on repairing screw holes on kitchen doors where the wood has broken and made the screw hole too big… in it they used cotton wool and super glue so the last time my glasses did this I got some fine strands of the cotton wool and pushed it into the arm bracket and dropped some super glue in first as you showed and then I pushed in a few fine strands of the cotton wool , I did let a few strands stay along the length of the hole so you could see some sticking out then I followed the way you then positioned the broken part of the bracket with super glue and pushed it in to the arm side… unlike previous repairs so far this repair has held much longer…. And is still going strong….

How to you reattach the screw hole that isn't broken? How up you get it to connect to the hole?

Great job. I bought the good metal glue and a soldering kit BEFORE seeing your video, but this really helps in terms of how to apply the glue with the toothpick and also the spacing. Thank you! Excellent video.

It seems like he missed a step. Did it click or snap or lock together when he squeezed the pliers on the pin @ 4:00? I can hear a snapping sound

Good instruction - I question how long the super glue would hold up .... soldiering - I think it would be hard if not all but impossible to get it to flow into the hinge - would have to use and iron not open flame and would it stick to what ever allow the hinge is made of ... My question and it may not work JB weld ( grey ) I am temped to use it instead of Super glue

Great video - thank you. I fixed the hinge some time ago with superglue. It subsequently came adrift again and now I can't repeat because there is some superglue in the slot so the hinge piece won't go in completely. Any idea of how I can sort this out?

@Chr0735 Ай бұрын

yep i've tried that, the result my frame got snap again and more ruined looks more dirt superglue. superglue are useless if exposed to our sweat or salty environment. superglue method just works for temporary about 1-3 weeks only as emergency until you buy new frame again😂

If your toothpick fit into the hole using that instead of tool as is really hard to putvin

NIce video but the title states broken temple...that is the hinge my guy. smh. Broken arm or hinge and not the temple which is what I was trying to find.

@@ecologicaltime Oh, nice. If you find a fix for a worn out temple tip (its texture is no longer smooth) lmk. I didnt know if there is a way to restore it without replacing it.
