<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 10165088, member: 23"]When I was younger and ambitious I could restore a frame like that. Not sure if that negatively impacted the value but at least my frames looked good. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. I had done some clay sculpting and had a set of dental tools for fine work. I'd fill in a missing patch and sculpt it to match then paint it with gold paint (I didn't have the $$ for gold leaf). I don't recommend this unless you have a lot of time on your hands and a smidgeon of OCD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
