<p>[QUOTE="drg642, post: 4269437, member: 74"]I keep a box for anything decent that is missing stones, and do repair lots on ebay a few times a year. They usually do pretty well. I also sell high end repair pieces individually sometimes.</p><p>I have learned from experience that replacing stones is not a job for these clumsy hands. I had to relearn that recently. Had a nice piece, all stones present, but 1 stone glued in off center out of the cup. Looked so easy to remove, cleanout excess dried glue and re-glue. By the time I was done, I had a poorly re-glued stone, and in all the handling, I lost a stone! I do work over a sticky pad, but the lost stone was nowhere to be found. Lesson learned - again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
