stuck marble
Tina Sutherland
And let's say there was a 50 year old marble stuck in this vase, near
the bottom. And let's say that Tina's family has had just about as much
fun as they can stand teasing her about this. It's time to ask the
experts.
Now, it's not like I haven't tried. But there are problems that come
with glass stuck in glass. So...any ideas?
Tina-who's feeling a little sheepish.

Assuming that the thickness of the glass is less than that of the
marble, pouring hot, soapy (not boiling) water into the bottom of the
vase covering the stuck marble, should cause the vase to expand
slightly faster than the marble allowing it to be released??
Can't hurt trying..

I assume you've already tried this, but just
in case......
Spray WD-40 down in the neck of your
vase, hoping to saturate both it & the marble.
Then turn it upside down & let it sit. The
marble may fall out. I've used this fairly
successfully to get ground glass stoppers
"unstuck" from decanters.

item in your hand,pocket or purse while riding an elevator up & down in
a TALL building will loosen a stuck object due to the change in
pressure.....
(My own thoughts)= It seems that anyone getting On or Off your elevator
at the different floors would break the desired effect caused by
atmospheric pressure changes....
(My suggestion)= Drive you & your vase (and marble) to the Empire State
Bldg. and get on the elevator. Get off at EVERY floor and place an Out
Of Order sign on the elevator button. When this is accomplished,sit down
in the middle of the elevator floor with your item held out in front of
you and ride that elevator Up & Down like crazy until the marble pops
out.
PS
Bring along a snack (if you can keep it Down while going Up) and be sure
to go to every floor and remove your signs........
Good luck and I hope this helps you lose your marbles.

I haven't tried this, but heard about it working well, and it sounds
harmless to try -- try soaking it in Pepsi (something about the
carbonation, I guess...)

Actually I haven't tried that, but not because I didn't think of it,
but because we seem to be out of WD-40. Now what kind of house runs out
of WD-40? I can't believe how bad things get around this place! Of
course you organized types are saying, "Why not go to the store and buy
some more?" And I would say back at you, "Sure, like it's just that
easy. Just go to a store and remember to buy what you went for." What do
people think I am? Organized? No chance.
But...if and when I can get my act together and remember to make a
list AND remember to take the list to the store...THEN I will try WD-40.
Thanks for the reminder ;-)
Tina-who might get things done, but she's online all the time.
