Hello,

I have a Guzzini Focus floor lamp by Fabio Lenci which has a broken shade (not broken by me). I want to repair the shade as best as I can. Does anyone have any experience repairing perspex? And are there any tips as to how to reduce the visibility of the crack?

Thanks

You can use adhesives for that specific type of plastic sparingly, but it will never be invisible. You can squint your eyes or turn the broken part of the shade away from view, otherwise get a replacement shade if available, you never know, you might get lucky debraluck18...

I have a cute little yellow ceramic planter that an old girlfriend gave to me a hundred years ago. It lives on the edge of my bathtub, on the outside rear corner. It has a dead plant in it. Every once in a while when I get a bit drunk I accidentally knock it over the edge of the tub onto the floor and it smashes into pieces. I just keep taping it back together, using clear Scotch tape. In your case, I'd recommend clear packing tape. You can get it at the dollar store.
