How dislodge a broken glass stopper from the neck of a glass decanter WD-40 hot water haven't worked. Drilling by glass professional might break the decanter and so anyone have this problem help?
More than likely, the sugars from whatever was in the bottle have formed a sort of "glue". My suggestion would be to boil some water in a pot, and place the stopper part into the boiling water as you hold the bottom of the decanter. In this upside down position, should the stopper pop out, breakage may not occur. As a suggestion and a precaution....purchase one of those little colapsable baskets you use to steam veggies and put that in the bottom of the pot of boiling water. This way if the stopper does pop out it will be caught by the basket. Posted from: nypdbluetpd@yahoo.com I wouldn't put the stopper end in the hot water, because it will cause the stopper AND the neck to swell (if they came together in a set, they're most likely the same type of glass and have a similar coefficient of expansion) Also, depending on the type of glass, if you put it in boiling water, the glass may break. I would start with warm water from your tap, and gradually increase the hot water...run water over the decanter but try to AVOID the stopper, so the decanter expands slightly, but the stopper remains cool and doesn't expand. If you put it in boiling water, you may experience thermoshock and it can shatter. If this doesn't work, maybe put the decanter in a pot with warm water and again, turn the heat up slowly. Be careful, though. It sounds like it's sealed shut. If there's a buildup of heat inside, it could explode. But done gently and slowly the pressure from inside may push the stopper out. Maybe even try this suggestion with the earlier "dowel" suggestion.
