Hello, I got an old mica globe from a 1001 lamp but one of the panes were broken. I decided to try and replace it myself. I used a scalpel to widen the gap between the metal strips: Freeing the broken pane: Gaps: I then cut a new mica sheet to size. It was sourced from Stove Mica and the sheets were a bit thicker than the original. I'd probably request thinner sheets if I were to do this again. Fitting was not easy. Unfortunately I could not get the corners in on one side. I noticed the old sheet had a notch in the corner, presumably for this reason Nonetheless these are on the inside of the globe and so not very noticable.
@Wai , good display of your skill set, I like old things as they were made to be repaired when needed.
Well done @Wai I’ve found it easier to remove the top and bottom rings once flattened out . It makes it easier to fit new panels
Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I decided to post my efforts as I've not seen much online about replacing a mica pane and thought I'd give a little back. Apologies if it has been covered here previously. The notch is in the 4th picture where I show the completely removed broken pane. The notch is just the top left corner.
