The milkglass is trash hence why I want the lenses off. I bought it that way (I did not break it). Theres a big crack up the side and broken at the base. I tried the wd40 and it melted the silicone fast but the lenses still won't budge. I'm sure there's silicone under the lenses. I haven't tried the feeler gauge yet. For all I know he could have put silicone in the middle. I think I'll try the fishing line once I get some.
