This is to say, that the materials used in the restoration of glass objects must comply with stability requirements in order not to compromise the original piece. Above all they must also meet optical requirements because most glass pieces are translucent (i.e. can see through the material). Generally, this means that the materials used in the repair of the object must also be translucent.
