The New Hotness

  • Sunglasses Repair Redux

    After the hinge repair described there, those old sunglasses have been working fine and I use them regularly. The screw recently worked its Loctite loose and was held in largely by blind faith.

    It’s obvious why:

    Sunglass hinge screw - loose
    Sunglass hinge screw – loose

    A tiny dab of JB KWIK should solve that problem for the foreseeable future:

    Sunglass hinge screw - epoxy
    Sunglass hinge screw – epoxy

    In the highly unlikely event I must remove that screw, I’ll just refer to this picture and mill the epoxy out.
