Using Miracle Epoxies Can Be Risky Business
<br />
<br />The movie Risky Business, starring Tom Cruise, made his mothers prized Steuben glass egg famous when it goes missing from the mantelpiece; only to reappear with a crack in it. The father tells him that he will have to buy another one to replace it. Little did he know that there are glass sculpture professionals in the USA that specialize in glass restoration?

<br />Since 1903, Steuben glass has made all kinds of glass art from fruit bowls and figurines to exclusive sculptures gifted to American presidents and other famous people. Steubens unique design signatures are its elegant, naturally flowing shapes, and the reflection of the light spectrum on its famously crystal clear glass pieces. Steuben glass sculptures can cost anywhere from a few thousand to almost a hundred thousand dollars depending on the item.

Whether it is your favorite Steuben glass piece or a one of a kind Daum, Lalique or Tiffany glass art sculpture, there is always a chance that something may happen to it. In rare cases, the piece may be almost completely destroyed, and in others you may just not want to bother with having it repaired and decide to replace it instead. Sadly beautiful glass treasures often get relegated to being stuck in a closet or laying under a bed for years after they are broken!
