Crystal Glass Vase
Repairing Glassware Scratches
It is one of those annoying problems that lots of people face. A favoured piece of glassware has been dropped or just mishandled and has picked up some ugly marks and scratches. You would be amazed just how many people throw the bit of glassware out, even though with a little work it could be made as good as new. All that is needed is a few tools and bit of helpful information.
1.) Trying to rub the scratch out using harsh abrasives will not work. This may work on wood, but on your favorite whisky glass, you’ll end up with a horrible opaque patch that will look even worse and be even more difficult to remove. You need to use a very fine abrasive substance such as cerium oxide. Any good jewelers will stock this type of abrasive.
2.) You now need to get a polishing wheel. This is a kind of buffing pad that can be attached to a drill and in combination with the fine abrasive, will gently buff out the scratch. If the pad isn’t completely clean then you’ll just make more scratches in the glass, so check carefully first. The drill should not be used on a high setting as the pressure on the glass may be too large. Crystal glass is stronger and so can withstand higher spin speeds.
3.) For more serious scratches that cut deep into the glass, you’ll need more than a polishing wheel. In most cases you can use a resin to fill in deep scratches and you can pick this up from DIY shops and specialist glassware shops. You’ll need to ensure that the resin you use has the same refractive index as the glass, otherwise it will stand out like a sore thumb, especially on crystal vases and glassware. The resin will still need to be polished up using the abrasive like with smaller scratches, but if done right you should not be able to notice a thing.
