You can probably barely tell, but yes I had to solder that spot in the center of the photo (right nose piece), on glasses made in 1988.

I had to do a little mild bending, which already scared me, to take the lenses about a millimeter away from my nose bridge, to stop from rubbing against my eyebrows.

The right nose piece started to weaken and almost broke off, so I cleaned that with a Dremel and soldered it to reinforce it.

Sorry the photo angle is a bit dim, but it came out solid and clean 👍

    No, it’s 60/40 leaded solder, genuine old-school Radio Shack stuff. That’s what I got, not like I’m licking the stuff, and it’s not in contact with my face.
