<p>[QUOTE="Lavrentii, post: 11569345, member: 80422"]Hi [USER=649]@bluumz[/USER]! This one was easy. Slowly heating with water from the bottom of cup, and than used boiled water. Just to prevent cracking because of the quick temperature change. After than used scissors as wax block screwdriver. They glued wick holder to the bottom of the cup. But I remove glue with special glue remover. So not so bad. </p><p><br /></p><p>With bird feeders it is much easier. As usual it’s just a hot glue sticks, so easy to remove without damage. </p><p>This cup is with crack, and I think that’s the reason it was reused. But as collector, I think that’s this might be a rare survival for this pattern (or maybe not of course ). So yes, good to have specimen with no cracks if you have choice. If don’t - I am happy with cracks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
