Has anyone heard of this material?
I apparently damaged a Gucci 2954 yesterday while adjusting. I heated the temples and bent them down like always on this lady's brand new beautiful red frame. I didn't notice it at the time, but she came back in today and pointed out whitish spots where I'd bent the temples (like the white plastic turns when you're breaking it). The material felt like any old zyl so I didn't expect to have any trouble handling it, but obviously I need to learn more about this frame material!
Anyone know what it is?
How do you adjust it w/o damaging it? More heat? (I got them pretty hot and it was hard to bend) Less heat? Wear in as-is position?
Is it possible rubbing alcohol caused this instead of my bending? (improbable as the rubbing alcohol would have contacted the frame around the lenses much more than magically landing only on the temple at the bends)
Help me not embarass myself again!
Thanks!
