so i got my down stem stuck cause my dumb ass just picked up and filled my fairly large jar up and set it down smacking my down stem with some force. I'm sure if it was cheaper glass it probably would have broke...but i also probably wouldn't have cared and bought a new one tomorrow. anyways what can i do to save my favorite bong from it's inevitable doom. not really wanting to break the down stem either since illadelph shit isn't cheap.
Is there any water in the joint? Try heating the outside of the joint while lightly twisting/pulling the downstem
The Scientific Glassblowing Learning Center: Dealing with Stuck or Frozen Glass Joints read this for a more complete understanding of your problems and a variety of solutions
see in labs they have a item called a joint/stopper puller (which i cant find on the market anywhere)for this exact problem
thanks man i think i might order one online i want to get into glassblowing anyway and im sure itd be a good tool to have in my arsenal
Yo I just delt with the same situation! If your downstem sticks out enough wrap a USB cord around it and pull on both ends of the cord, boom instant out
