Restore Wine Glasses
I have these metallic bottom wine glasses that are aged and broken so I decided to try and restore them.
The tools I used are:
- Rotary tool with polishing disc and glass etching bit
- 1000 grit sand paper
- Brasso metal polish
Prep With the Rotary Tool
Using the rotary tool grind the surface so that it is shiny and most of the deep scratches are gone.
Sandpaper
Use the 1000 grit sandpaper to smooth out the scratches.
On this step if you want an even better finish go through a 1500 grit and even a 2000 grit paper ;-)
Polish
Polish with Brasso metal polish or any other brand. I used paper though you may polish with a cloth or even better cotton wool. The second photo shows the before/after.
Cut Glasses
I used this instructable to cut the glasses to size:
Trim Glass Bottom
I trimmed and roughed up the bottom end of the glasses so that when I glue them the will adhere better.
Enjoy!
Here is the result!
