Hi everyone,

Some photos of the restoration of a Series 200 Red Bell Set case.

The Bell Set case had suffered significant damage and most of the parts had been simply glued back together.

The client wanted to improve the look of the Bell Set and asked if anything could be done.

After a thorough examination the conclusion was that a repair to remove the "aggressive" look of the fracture site could be achieved. However, as the area was so badly damaged and repaired the client's expectation of any additional repair has to be realistic.
It will never be as though it had never been broken.   

The process was started and the area was de-bonded, cleaned and prepared for restoration.

The area was reconstructed using all the available and usable broken parts and the missing areas were the recreated with pigmented resin.

The repaired area was refinished and polished. The repair will not be invisible but the overall appearance of the Bell Set has been greatly improved on.
