MOULDING ACETATE FRAMES
Moulding and manipulating acetate eyewear to achieve the perfect fit requires careful attention to detail and a gentle touch. Here are some steps you can follow to mould and manipulate your LxB acetate eyewear for the perfect fit:
STEP 1
Prepare the sunglasses: First, make sure that the sunglasses are clean and free from any dirt or debris. Use your LxB cloth. You will also need a bowl of hot water and a towel.
STEP 2
Heat the frames: Hold the frames of the sunglasses over the bowl of hot water for approximately 30 seconds. This will soften the acetate and make it more pliable.
STEP 3
Bend the arms: Once the acetate has softened, gently bend the arms of the
frames to adjust the fit. Be sure to apply even pressure to both arms to avoid damaging the frame.
STEP 4
Adjust the nose pads: Use your fingers to adjust the nose pads to fit comfortably on the bridge of your nose. Be gentle when doing this to avoid bending the frame or breaking the nose pads.
STEP 5
Cool the frames: Once you are happy with the fit of the frames, hold them under cold running water or place them in a bowl of cold water to cool and set the frame.
STEP 6
Dry the frames: Once the frames have cooled, dry them off using your LxB Microfiber cloth.
STEP 7
Repeat if necessary: If the fit is not perfect, you can repeat the process until you achieve the desired fit.
It is important to note that acetate frames can be delicate, so it is important to handle them with care when moulding and manipulating them.Be sure to apply even pressure and not to bend the frame too much as this can damage the material.
