What TO DO and NOT TO DO when something gets broken

1. Most importantly, Save ALL the pieces. A lost piece can be reconstructed but this is more difficult and costly than simple assembly. Do everything possible to locate all the pieces. If something has broken in shipment look in the box or container very carefully. 2. Do NOT glue it yourself. Some glues are impossible to remove and make re-repair difficult .Different materials require different mending materials. To remove and redo repairs adds to the time and difficulty of repair.
3. Contact me to discuss the repair. In the case of rare and expensive items with few, clean breaks, repairs reclaim much of the value of the item. For family heirlooms and sentimental items it is the owners decision. I understand that sentimental value can make any item priceless and I look forward to working with you and preserving your family heirlooms to be shared for generations to come.
