Can they be saved?

[Beesh71]

My daughter took my eye patch 2s off my head and threw them in the ground. Any suggestions on what might work? Already bought some double edges to replace them but can't bring myself to throw these out without at least trying

If it don't work I'll send them out with a bang

Keep them for parts or sell them as parts.
If lenses are good I am sure someone here will want them.

I have been toying with trying to fix broken frames (I have a pair of original 5's broken at the nose bridge like yours) I know it's possible but I have not found the secret. Forget super glue or glues that say the work on plastic - Loc-time makes one. They don't work.

I was going to try JB weld. I was just trying to figure out how to stabilize the frame in the right position while it cures.

I thought about Gorilla glue but it expands.

I also thought about drilling a small hole in the frames and putting in a pin to help keep the frames stable and for added strength.

Worst case if it doesn't work you could keep for spare parts or sell them like @Lars suggested

Someone needs get loc tite black glue. It's 400$ for a small 2 part system. Strongest glue made period. You can glue metal, then turn it in a lathe

I had the same experience with a pair of Crankcases. The frame snapped on the top part of the left orbital. I tried super glue and it held just fine... for a few days. I unfortunately didn't get to try any other methods because they got stolen (hope whoever got them likes having broken Oakleys ), but suffice to say that super glue did nothing but leave an ugly residue on the frame.

Nerds seem to prefer masking tape

But if it’s really expensive, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy a new pair of Oakley’s?
