<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 190399, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I have a slight repair job on sick glass. If it can not be cleaned then there are several ways to make it more presentable. I have several decanters that were real bad sick glass problem. I pour some heavy mineral oil into the decanter and swirl it around, then turn it upside until it stops dripping. Then I replace the top. The oil coats the glass and the sickness disappears. One has had the mineral oil in it for 10 years. I just wash the outside. If you wash the inside you have to recoat it. For an open type like a vase. I use petroleum jelly. Put some on a clean cloth or paper towel. Wipe it lightly all over the inside. Since it has an open top it will get dusty and need to be washed and redone. I use the vase for flowers and since it is water proof it works nicely. My one decanter is almost 200 years old now and it looks brand new. I got it every cheap due to the glass sickness.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
