Crystal Repair Waterford Cake Knife
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Waterford Crystal Repair | 4 Comments »Waterford cake knife is not a good choice for cutting ice cream cake. The glass did not break the metal handle did. In all the years repairing crystal I think this is a first. I removed what was left of the knife blade from the glass handle and silver soldered it. I put it back on the glass handle and its ready for the next party . Use the old big knife on the DAIRY QUEEN cake .

Friday, January 23rd, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Chipped Glass Repair, Waterford Crystal Repair | Comments Off on Crystal Repair Waterford VaseChipped Waterford vase in need of repair. A large chip on the rim of a very large Waterford vase I gound down about half the chip and feathered out the rest. The vase is as good as new it just needs a dozen roses to be perfect. Shipped from California to Ohio for repair. The key to a successful journey is good packing double boxing a must.
Chipped Crystal Repair The “vaaas” is as good as new and with proper care will stay that way . A good tip to keep water stains from forming inside the vase from hard water is to coat the inside of the vase with Pam spray oil.Then fill with water. After the flowers die pour out the water and use a little soap to clean off the oil. Warm water only never hot. Definition vase is under $300.00 and a vaaaas is over $300.00 Life is short stop and snell the roses.
