Re: How do you fix these?
I treat these the same as a combination. First I clean the pit well I use my drill for this but do not drill into the break. I then make sure the damage is dry and at the temperature of the surrounding glass. Next I place some resin into the pit and apply my vacuum pump at full vacuum for a couple of seconds and then release, you will be suprised at how much they fill. I might do this a couple of times depending on the first effect. I then apply the bridge and proceed as normal. Making sure you are shading from direct or indirect UV at all times.
Now I will explain the reason why I use this procedure. On a combination or a break of this style very little injector pressure is required to close the central legs up. Just think of the shape and you will understand my point. Why do I use the drill, personaly I find with a ball shaped bur they make a great tool for cleaning the pit far better than I can with a scribe. Just the lightest of touches does the job.
