The trick to repairing broken eyeglass frames so that they are sturdy again only requires 1 kitchen ingredient.
Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube SALDAMedia on Tuesday (21/5), the kitchen ingredient used to repair eyeglass frames is ground coffee. To be clear, he uses real ground coffee without sugar to repair the frames of his black glasses. So, later, the ground coffee will blend into the glasses frame.
However, apart from using ground coffee, he also prepared drops of glue as an adhesive. So, the ground coffee will be useful as a reinforcement when mixed with glue. A mixture of ground coffee and glue makes the broken part stick together more strongly.

To do this, apply glue to both sides of the broken glasses. At this stage, make sure you do it carefully so that no glue sticks to your fingers. Once it has been dripped, stick the two sides of the broken glasses together and wait a few seconds until the glue is dry.

If it sticks, take a small piece of cardboard. Then drip the inside of the glasses frame with glue and stick the paper to the glued surface. Make sure the paper size matches the width of the glasses frame, OK?
Next, put glue on each side of the paper and the outside of the frame. Then sprinkle ground coffee on the part that was glued earlier. Add more glue to the broken part, then sprinkle ground coffee. Repeat this process several times until the hole or broken part is completely filled.

"In my opinion, this coffee's function is like that of a builder mixing cement with sand, yes. Well, cement's function is as an adhesive, while sand is an additional strengthening material. Well, here the function of coffee is like sand in building materials. "Apart from the glue drying quickly, this coffee's function is to strengthen this connection," explained YouTube SALDAMedia.
After adding glue and ground coffee, let it sit for a while until it dries. Then rub it using sandpaper to make the surface smoother. Only then will the glasses frame become sturdy again, so that the glasses can be used again comfortably.
