To bend metal glasses frames, use a hair dryer to heat the area over the ear for 30 seconds. This softens the metal. Apply gentle pressure to bend the arm downward, bringing it closer to your ear. This adjustment creates a snug fit. Be careful not to overheat the frame to avoid damage.
Next, carefully clean the glasses. This ensures that no dirt impacts the bending process. Then, apply heat to the metal frame. If using warm water, submerge the frame for about 30 seconds. Alternatively, use a hairdryer on a low setting, keeping it a few inches away from the frame.
Once the frame is warm, gently grasp the area you wish to bend. Apply slow, steady pressure until you achieve the desired shape. Be cautious, as excessive force can damage the frame.
Finally, allow the metal to cool in its new position. This process will help the frame maintain its new shape.
After completing these steps, you may find that your frames require further adjustments for comfort or functionality. Refer to the next section for tips on making precise adjustments and ensuring a perfect fit for your glasses.
