Anyone else go looking for other vids as soon as he showed the heat gun?

I didn't have those plastic thingys laying around, and I wanted to fix my glasses fast! so what I did is I bent the "elbows" of the arms a little bit towards the lenses and it worked like a charm!

Quick DIY my ASS! WHo the fuck just has a heat gun laying around? P

I did it, and it works pretty good! Thanks for the tip guys. The tubes were just about $2.50. People without glasses couldn't imagine how they limit and cause annoyance during activities. I just moved apartments and carrying boxes using both hands means your glasses slip down and there was nothing I could do. Everyday activities and working are slower when you have to push your glasses up ever 2 minutes to be able to see.

Thanks for the tip! I used rubber bands though and they work like a charm. Woohoo!!

Been trying to find a fix for this for a while, and this worked like a charm. Luckily I had 1/4” heat shrink on hand.

HIPSTERS AREN'T DIRTY! GOSH! sent from my vintage iPad

I use Urban Decay's De-Slick primer on the bridge of my nose. It helps loads. I normally have to re-apply two or three times a day, but I have pretty oily skin so others may not have that issue.

Or, you can get a hairdryer and heat the arms of the glasses to be pliable enough to slowly bend them to the shape you wish, and when they are snug against your ears, they won't slide down.

The heat gun can potentially melt the frames, you should really disclaim that.

If you have access to a heat gun or hotbox, might as well heat the temple and permanently bend it inward or downward to ultimately shorten the length of the arms - permanent fix

Look for KeepOn's on Amazon... I tried this and it didn't work, the KeepOns work great

Sunglasses counters at major department stores usually have a machine that heats the arms and bends them inward to re-tighten the fit.

You can fix this by just bending the arms actually. Some plastic arms may bend, others may not, so just check to see if yours are bendable. If they're slipping, you bend the arms more downward which sticks better on to your ears/head. Won't slide as much now.

I actually fixed a pair of aviators using this stuff. I had left my shades in the car and the plastic bits, that go over your ear, became brittle and broke. So I put heat shrink over them, with a little glue, and they're fixed.

I just used hot water it works the same and allows you to move the legs of the glasses to your size

this is not a D-I-Y fix. normal everyday people don't own heat guns

As an employee at Ace Hardware I can confirm that he did get it there, and before watching this I got some to do exactly the same thing

Just did it with a hairdryer. Thanks!

Persol sunglasses are the worst for slipping. I've owned two pairs and both of them were slipping off my nose.

or you can just wrap thin black hair bands around the arms of the glasses...

I make tips from oxygen cannula nose pieces that work very well for me. I cut them right between the nostril protusions and far enough back to get a tight fit over the ear pieces of the glasses. Then slip them on your ear pieces with the nostril protrusions pointing down. If you know someone using an oxygen concentrator just have them save their old cannula for you, the super soft cannula are best.

omfg... it actually woked. I am an electronics nerd and I have a huge box of heat shrink, I was so scepticle. Thank you

You could probably just tape or glue some little foam pieces on the part by your nose if you don’t have those nosepads that stick out. Or if you want something that can be removed, you could wrap hair ties around the elbow/ arm part of the glasses

i got mine from home depot, after a few months of using it i recommend being generous on the tube and cover most of the arm after the bend, i find it a little less irritating on the ears if the tubes are extended over the arms so its not sitting on your ear when you put it on, so it extends over your ears

You can get the same assorted sizes pack he did in the video (if you're not sure what size you need) at Ace Hardware and they will cut the tubing and heat-shrink it on using their heat gun for free. They did it with my glasses and also on my DE shaver for extra grip. And if you don't have an Ace Hardware near you, I guarantee Home Depot or Menards will do the same for free. It takes less than five minutes to find what you need and have them heat-shrink it on. No brainer...

This worked great! Very easy, very inexpensive. And my wife's hair dryer did the trick! We'll see how it lasts.

i would also suggest either small rubber bands or small hair bands (braces bands also work). wrap them around a few times. i put one where the frame crosses my ears, and one on the back to catch my hair.

This is perfect!!! Thanks so much for this. Worked like a charm.

I just heat strink it and my life is so much better now , thanks for the tips guys !

My glasses slip a lot because the frames are all messed up I need an adjustment, but my dust mask with the ear straps I use at work holds them real good. There are also rubber tips you can buy on amazon that serve the same purpose as this heat shrink tubing.

Back in the day glasses used to wrap around the ears. The reason they do it no longer makes no sense

I have a lot of old glasses will test on them 1st got a heat gun last time used fire alarm went off I will do it in garage this time

You don't need a heat gun. Just carefully run it over your stove (I have a gas stove). It shrunk tight in seconds. Worked like a charm. No more slipping! Thanks for the help. Found the size polyolefin I needed at Ace Hardware. Size 8 worked for my sunglasses and size 6 worked for my reading glasses.

Norm is too cool for glasses!

they already sell rubber temple holders for eyeglasses cheap

Great tip, solves all my glasses problems. But what am I going to do now to covertly flip people off when they are talking shit?

Who the hell has a heat gun!? How about showing it with what everybody has: a lighter!

Is there a video on how to stop my heat gun from slipping?

I don't even wear glasses. Not really sure why I watched this.

i used small o-rings and it worked too thanks for the great idea

Guys just use a hairdryer on max heat for 10 sec then bend the arms of the glasses... IT WORKS

such a simple fix’ but amazing results 🤘🤘

maybe alt nurf dart on each arm.plus bonus nurf ammo always.

this method is awesome! i tried it, and my black frame ray bans would always slide down when i sweat, i got the tubes for $2.17 took about 10 mins, does not require a heat gun, a lighter will work perfectly

is this ryan and shane in 20 years

That's actually what I did with mine... Works pretty well.

I was expecting something that we could do it without purchasing :)

Boy, Tested sure has come a long way in 8 years.

Cheers for this, guys. I'll give it a go.

I chose this video over others because I trust Jackie Chan over most other people

A good hair dryer work good too.

Yes it does, done that a lot of times

Use hot water to make it more malleable and cold water to set them again.

Why does everyone keep saying “like a charm”

Why don't they just make glasses like this in the first place

Honestly thought that was Jackie chan on the thumbnail lmaoo

Bros, thank you for the video! But, where can I but those grips? Maybe you have an amazon link or something?

Why your friend not doing it if you can’t see?

Of course, I'm sorry. In my language (dutch) it's schrink. I'm learning every day.

Just superglue on a strip of sandpaper, like a real man.

@1:52 lol ouch to any dirty hipsters out there with masking tape on their glasses. 😆

If you screw up how do you remove the shrink tube? I heated one up too much and it bubbled.

I did this, the heatshrink tubes just loose tightness after a couple months and add to the problem.

I am broke atm, and I have glasses that have both sides of the frame broken. Right where it's supposed to bend, how could I fix that? Since I don't have money in my pocket

boil a cup of water and dip the heatshrink/glasses in, it'll shrink it

Can I use my stove?

I need that for my glasses

Can you do this is your glasses don’t hook around your ear, and are wire rims?

I just do the anime glasses adjust. I just came here to say that.

If your using heat u might as well just bend the arms prob safe then leaching that plastic

I got my sleeves from Maplins in the UK. I steamed mine over the kettle and they shrank like a good un. I have to admit I have not tested them yet without as my face has had a psoriasis flare and infection where the glasses keep on slipping and rubbed. why didn't they make glasses with materials that don't slip!!! I cant wear metal not silicone as they set off my psoriasis.

Poly what?? I need to get to ACE now!

I cut an arm off a dollar store pair of metal frame glasses, and secured it to one arm of my plastic frame glasses. They don't fall off anymore. And I can head bang.

I think i will try this, but I have to wonder if this tip will grab the heck out of my hair. How big of a nerd am I that I have a heat gun?

Wow thanks!

You need Nerdwax!!!

Is that a real olly moss silkscreen prit behind you?

i need this

tried this but it bubbled the ends of my frames. I didn't have access to a heat gun so I resorted to an open flame. bad idea

and yes this always happens to me too thx

Why don't you just stop into an optical shop and get your glasses adjusted? Plastic frames like yours will always loosen up over time and slip due to your body heat/sweat. I've been working in optics for a long time, and while your trick sounds great, it probably won't solve your problem completely. Oakley frames that have this heat shrink tubing don't bend around your ears, but apply pressure to the side of your head, and that is why the tubing works. Most frames, plastic or metal, need to b

WTF???!! YOU SAID I COULD HEADBANG WITHOUT WORRY!!!!!!!!

What kind if Persol's are those?

Better iz superglue for sleeping on 'em... 🧐

What if the arms of my glasses are straight?

You should wear glasses when doing that! It looks like you were melting your fingers!

Any filipino here? Where could I buy these in our country? Please!

super glue it to your head.

now, it;s Hipsters problems

not sure where to buy this in canada :(

What about silicone?

where you get the tube?

would a hairdryer work?

can you use a iron

what is the name of that black thing? english isn't my native language so it's little bit hard to hear

this music?

They don't work.

What tubing? Speak so fast

It worked........
