I hate shopping for glasses and manufacturers have frames available for 1-2 years only My favourite frame, was a Brookes Brothers 1006 . purchased 15 years ago and discontinued shortly afterwards. So 11 years ago, I started buying Shuron Ronsir from manufacturer directly . No retailer sells in Toronto . The nosepiece is not annealed - pliable - I broke one myself And Costco broke a nosepiece ( even with specific written order instructions to "don't touch the nosepieces) As is there policy , no repair or replacement on outside frames. So they need to be repaired What equipment is used ? What temperature ? Weld or solder? Shuron offered to replace the frame chassis at a discount - which might be the best solution. Thx
