    I have a pair of titanium glasses.  Mine have the ear cables
    which loop around the back of my ears and keep them from falling
    off.  At one point, one of the ear cables broke.  I simply hard
    soldered it back to the rest of the fram.  I didnt have to worry
    about pickling it or cleaning it well, because the plastic tubing
    over the ear cable covers the solder joint.  to replace the
    tubing I used the shrink tubing which is sometimes used in
    electronics.  I dont know if this helps you or not.
