Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2007Any specialized shops to solder titanium frames?
The factory solder that attaches one side of the bridge to the rim snapped without affecting the solid titanium wires. The frames are 3 years old. It seems like the regular optical shops cannot solder it again with the factory durability. They say it will not last if they do it. Are there any specialized shops, incl. mail-order shops, that can handle this kind of solder? The same brand-new frames are $110 so the solder job should be appropriately cheaper.

When I bought titanium frames I did not expect that they snap so easily and it costs almost the price of new frames just to solder them. So what is the advantage of titanium over stainless steel. How much it costs to solder stainless steel frames??
