<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 603068, member: 3974"]I think you've taken the information given in the wrong way. When Greg and others here are referring to "sick" glass they are not referring to anything that can be removed by alcohol, or denture tablets, or any other "cleaning method" - they are referring to glass whose internal surface has been permanently etched by long term misuse. Certainly they aren't saying that the methods you've suggested wouldn't work for cleaning dirty glass or cloudy glass that isn't "sick". That is an important distinction. Greg and OBB are correct that truly "sick" glass is only curable by physically removing the etched layer by polishing with cerium oxide/polishing compound or by dissovling it with hydrochloric(muriatic) acid. Clearly you have methods that have worked for you for remedying cloudy glass before. No one is saying that isn't true or isn't worthwhile - and I for one appreciate your help in trying to get my piece cleaned/fixed, and hope to continue see you around the forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
