Repairing Kirsch Curtain Sliders
The little T sliders are no longer available that fit the old Kirsch “C” Channel track, and the little eyelets are subject to breaking off with age. Here is a permanent and quick fix that restores the look and functionality of the sliders.
Before & During
- Sand off the broken eye loop so it is even (right)
- Using a 1/16th” cut-off wheel on a hi-speed grinder or Dremel, notch the slider to receive a 7/16th diameter x 1/6th” thick x .200″ ID Nylon Flat Washer
- Secure the nylon washers (any hardware store) in the slot using clear epoxy applied with a toothpick to build up the shape
