Laser welding will not damage the surrounding area and is usually unnoticeable. Occasionally, we will repaint (black) the repaired area to ensure the best possible results. A laser weld can be a small as 2/10 mm. or as large as 2 mm. (A fingernail is 5/10 mm. thick!). We us an Argon gas when welding your frames and this can reduce the likilyhood of noticeable weilding marks.
Super and cray type glue will not work to fix your glasses. The use of this glue is not a good idea, it does more harm then good. If you have tried to glue your frames back together and now want them to be laser welded. The glue remove becomes a big problem. It has to be ground off your frames. This may damage the finish on your metal frames. So do not use any type of glue to try to fix them, just get the job done right the first time with Laser Mirco Welding by Gems Custom Jewellery.
