Default OT - Slightly - Eyeglass frame problem

The metal support for one of the nose pieces broke off my eyeglass
frame. Frame is metal.
Any ideas other than buying new frames ($$$)?


I brazed one of those with a microflame torch

once--discolored the frame though. How well that's going to work
depends on the frame--brazing steel is pretty easy, brazing titanium I
suspect needs more than a microtorch.

You could try epoxy.
