: Tim: If you would like to learn of my experience then email me and I will provide details. Bud.I have successfully removed a glass cylinder off one of my visible afer hours of picking, grinding and anything else I could do to remove the letharge. The cylinder came out unbroken.

: I was just recently told by a person experienced at this that they would NEVER remove a cylinder that is held tightly. That while the cylinder might not break in the process of removing it that they almost always crack later. Maybe minutes, hours or days later.

: Mine didn't but now I'm very leery to remove any others, but I don't see how I can do a decent restoration without removing it.

: Has anybody else experienced this post-removal breakage that was described to me or is this just a myth. Thanks!
