Description
Summary:An apparatus for repairing flat glass with thermosetting resins is described. Small threaded rods inserted through numerous threaded holes in the top surface of a light-box allow fine and repeated adjustments to be made in the level of fragments before adhesive is introduced. Elevation off the surface prevents adhesive from running under edges. The light allows the conservator to monitor resin penetration and the low level of heat aids in curing the resin.
