First you will need a adequate place to do your repair work. You will need a good solid flat surface of the right height for standing or sitting work. A good light is absolutely necessary. You will need readily available supplies. A list of possible supplies follow: Tapes, Glues, Flat Tooth Picks, Waxed Paper, Small brushes, Razor Blades or Exacto Knife, Bone File, Cotton Cloth, Emery Cloth, Sharp Scissors, Pinky Eraser, Weights for pressing, Container for water, Postits, Crochet Needles, Small cotton cloth.
