Shrine Lantern is Glass Bead Blasted and Repaired
The complete restoration of a large outdoor lantern from the Shrine of Miraculous Medal in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is progressing rapidly.
The frame of the lantern was removed from the pole, and all individual components were disassembled so that they could be individually inspected for damage and repaired as needed. Once disassembled, the frame, pole, and individual components of the fixture were glass bead blasted to smooth the surface profile and to remove all undesirable residual contaminants; preparing the surfaces for the powdercoat.
Numerous holes that were drilled to hold plastic panels during a previous repair were filled in, and copper tabs were soldered to the lantern’s frame for the purpose of holding new glass panels.
The fixture will soon be given a powder coat matte black textured finish, and then rewired in accordance with UL standards.
