- I fell asleep with my glasses and when I woke up the alarm was completely broken off and the hinge was completely twisted and broken. Tape is not going to work on something like this. My approach is to Apoxsee glue the two pieces together with a metal bone that goes across both pieces and then shrink tube a piece on to make it as clean as possible. I’m not gonna be able to fold these again but these are my work glasses and I need them to be strong and somewhat attractive so when I go into Lowe’s or Home Depot it’s not gonna be obvious that they’re completely in need of repair. This is a very strong repair and I think that it’s fairly attractive considering the only other option is to throw them away. I’m definitely not gonna be throwing these away, They protect my good glasses.

Thank you for this, we just fixed my son's glasses so he can still see until the new ones come!
Same shit happened to me
I hate when this stuff happens, it takes a lot of time to get a new pair of glasses, it’s certainly worth the time to fix your work glasses so your good glasses don’t take a beating
I was watching this video with only one arm on my glasses. Thanks for the info, now I've gotta fix my own!
That’s funny, I was filming a video with only one arm on my glasses. I’m really glad they’re fixed. Even the one arm is able to fold it certainly gives me full use of the glasses back. I’m glad it was useful.
@@livefree6878 I slathered way too much epoxy on to fold it but I'm going to file it down once its fully cured. I might get lucky, who knows lol.
OML SAME 😭😭😂😂 I didn’t know what to do
Watching with no arms on my glasses rn lmfao. First one fell off months ago been using one, other one just fell off having a nap -.-
@@pafiro i finally obtained a new pair. Free, too. Hooray insurance!
What is shrink tube and where do I get it?
Damn that ring looks like its tight af on your finger
Wow! I never thought about my ring being tight, I just tried to pull it off and had a difficult time getting it over my knuckle. The ring itself spins no problem. Interesting the things a person never thinks about. I think I may size the ring up a little, I’ve got that tool.
Thank you! The paper clips are a great idea. I also did a bit of soldering for some extra support. Hope it lasts for a few weeks until I can get a new pair 👍
Where do I get a shrink tube?
This was amazing! What do you recommend when break is right where the lens meets the arm there's no material there to extend and strengthen
what if i don't have a shrink tube?
Worked great! Thanks!
electrical insulating heat shrink tubing ... auto supply store
Much thanks
Idk why they don't just make regular glasses in a round lens without the arms and it's just a strap. Yes they make ballistic glasses but not exactly stylish
can i use super glue?
You could try it, I’ve had a lot better luck with Epoxy glue, one thing to be aware of is if you do use super glue the fumes from the superglue will irritate your eye for at least a couple of hours while it’s drying. I know this from experience of course, The wire that connects the two broken pieces is very important to add that structural component. I hope this helps.
Where do you get shrink tube? Is it the thing that’s one the handle of some pens?
Online would be a great place to get it. I Purchased it locally at Lowes or Home Depot.
What a great and clever solution. Let's get these kinds of videos trending.... useful skills.
I didn’t use glue, but u gave me the idea of using plastic piping. Now I can see again, thank you so much.
My mom gonna kill me I didn’t broke it I just make arm up and is are weird glasses now
Technoblade?
The one side of my main pair of glasses broke while i was taking them off..
Me rn
I fell asleep while wearing my glasses. Snap! The fixes still work and I wear the glasses almost every day

What's the size of the shrink tubing used?
Thanks so much! Helped me to repair my daughters glasses!
Is the repair that you did on this pair of glasses still holding to this day?
Thank you, I'll also repair my glasses
Thank you man, it really works. I´m happy with the results.
I have an expensive pair of Persol's and I broke the right arm; not at the hinge but right in the middle. The arm is about 1/8" thick and PLASTIC. Up to now, I've used paper clips and tape. Can your method work on an arm that's literally broken halfway between the hinge and the arm tip?
Same thing with me just put a paper clip on the glasses and put tape over
ThanQ for sharing.
My glases broke
I’ve never used shrink tube; can you tell me the size that is needed. The arm of my glasses is similar to yours.Can’t wait to try this!
good voice
Great
Same lol
What glue do you use?
He said quick setting epoxy. Anyway, epoxy. It's the strongest glue you can generally buy easily.
I accidentally step on my moms glasses and the two arms of Mom's glasses are broken im using my own glue it's clear glue and it didn't work I don't have epoxy glue tho I'm just 10 and i think my mom is gonna kill me noooooooo😢😢
Can i use super glue and do i need to use that rubber black thing?
... and you go around with those pair of glasses?
I'm going to repair my wife's glasses, and I had a similar idea as yours, but she has plastic frames. instead of using the paperclip on the outside. I figured it would have better support if you heat up two small paperclip ends and insert them inside the plastic frame for support. Nonetheless, great video well made and instructions were clear. Thank you.
My wife has a repair that I’ve got to do on her glasses right now that sounds very similar. I have been times when I’ve heated up A paper clip until cherry red and push it into the plastic as far as it’ll go and heat up the other end and try and push the other plastic and into the paper clip, as I recall you may have to pull the plastic out quickly if it doesn’t go all the way in the first time. Anyway glad you enjoyed the video.
Your hands are so unstable
He works at Lowes! He's not a damn surgeon!! Leave him alone. He's sharing something really useful here.
Your hands so shaking hard it looks uneasy Watch at first looks horrible but you did good
I’ve had this Tremor in the hands for years. Even in high school. It’s amazing that I’ve built models and prototypes for over 30 years with a trimmer like that. I guess you got to do what you Gotta do and get r done
Hope your glue fumes don't irritate your eye like mine did.
Very nice fix . Unfortunately my son broke my glasses both arms are off and he only had the lens part in his hands, I can’t see to find the arms 😂 😭.
