The nose bridge in my frames broke. I tried silver solder to reconnect
the broken ends, but the solder would not stick to the metal; it would
just roll off. Any suggestions? (yah, I suppose I could tape them and
look like a typical nerd : )

Thanks,


it's pot metal,zinc-based. there are solders made for pot metal.

Nerds today use epoxy. ;-)


You're assuming his glasses are pot metal. Glass frames are made of lots of
metals, mine are Ti ear stems with steel frames. My other pair were Ti
pure, the ones before that were steel.
