crystal repair pressed cut glass table
Thursday, January 14th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Crystal Repair Pictures, Glueings | No Comments »Press glass table broken in many pieces was sent to me from Cambridge Maryland. It had been in the family a long time and they didn’t think any thing could be done. They went to the internet and ask “can broken cut glass be repaired”. That is how they found me. I have never seen a traditional cut glass pattern like this pressed in a glass so large. The glass top is close to thiryt inches across I would like to see what the base is.

Thursday, January 7th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Glueings, glass sculpture repair | No Comments »Broken in three pieces and a failed attemp to glue together with silicone is how it came to me. Crystal repair is a lot harder after you get sililone adhesive all over the pieces and sililone adhesive is the worst to get off. There are no solvents to remove it . All you can do is scrap. The antique glass “China Man” is not a valuable glass figurine but holds a memory.

Crystal Repair antique cut glass epergne
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Chipped Glass Repair, Glueings, broken glassware, chipped glassware | No Comments »The antique cut crystal piece was broken and apiece was missing. I knew I would have to make a new pedal. Antique glass comes in many colors even the clear “crystal” glass. I found in my parts department a piece of antique glass the right color and shape for this repair. I ground and polished the new pedal. Crystal repair is challenging. With the replace pedal finished I beveled the side of the bowl so I would get a good bond. Then cut in the thumb prints design. Being able to grind and polish a piece of glass that been bonded together speaks well of the strength of the adhesive. This repair job came from Pittsburgh Pa. from a very nice lady. Who I quote ” it’s not a bad drive two hours tops a little shopping lunch and were on our way home. Many customers are surprised what kind of damaged crystal can be restored. Most clients after using my services say I didn’t know that could be repaired. I threw away a lot of glass that could have been repaired. I wish I knew about you.
