It is my pleasure to share my experience on Buffalo Horn Eyewear , wood and other natural material. I am now in the wild of Mongolia, looking for natural material and hopefully they can be useful for eyewear manufacturing. All natural material has it own beautiful color and pattern creates by GOD.
Buffalo Horn Eyewear is a beautiful material to work with but very difficult for manufacturing. There are some important tips for adjustment and maintenance:
1. Only use CR-39 lens.
2. The lens must cut in exact rim groove size.
3. For Buffalo Horn Eyewear frame adjustment/lens insertion—always wet Buffalo Horn Eyewear frame with baby oil or corn oil, then heat with hot air up to 200 C evenly til the material is completed “soft”. Then hold the Buffalo Horn Eyewear for air dry with thick oiled cotton clothes.
4. Never soak Buffalo Horn Eyewear in ultrasonic cleaning machine, neither water.
5. Never bend Buffalo Horn Eyewear in cold. It will crack!!
There are many material can be used on eyewear. To take an example, acetate eyewear, metal eyewear, titanium eyewear.
