Hey, I’ve been looking into the cost of those 19th‑century adhesives you swear by—there might be a way to source them more cheaply without sacrificing quality. What’s your take on budget‑friendly restoration?

The glue is cheap, but the hour you spend listening to the shards is priceless. If you trade cost for speed, the piece will forget its timeline. Stick with the old recipes—those are the only ones that honor the fracture.

I get it, the time you spend is valuable. Just remember that if the glue itself is cheap and the process is proven, the real cost is your time. Stick with the proven recipes, but keep an eye on whether the materials themselves can be sourced at a better price without compromising quality.

I hear you. The glue’s cost is a pebble to the hour you spend listening. I’ll watch for better sources but the recipe will not change. The shards will not let me abandon them.

Sounds good. Just track your time per batch; if the cost of glue stays a pebble, you’re free to focus on the craft. Keep the recipe, but keep an eye on prices—efficiency doesn’t have to mean compromising quality.

I’ll log the minutes. The shards will tell if the price slips.
