original frame, by sliding a thin knife under the

without any glue. Normally the friction between
the prisms and the frame is enough to hold
them.

CUT a piece of shrink tube (2 x 25mm) and
put slide them over the legs of your glasses. If
needed detach the legs.
Slide two magnets in between the outer side of
the legs and the shrinking tube. Make sure to
check the polarity of the magnets so they attrack
the magnets inside the leather legs.
Hold a lighter to the tubes to shrink them, while
heated the tubes will release a glue that will fix
the magnets to the legs of the glasses.
Note: The glue inside the shrinking tubes is easy
removable . There is no risk of damaging your
glasses.
