[QUOTE="bobbly_bob, post: 376258, member: 7880"]Evening all. Picked up a pair of Napoleon III banquet lamps from a vendor, only to find when they arrived that someone a while ago had glued the shades to the mounts. Glue appears to be rather old, and the only way I can think to safely separate the two is if I can somehow dissolve the glue without damaging the etched glass? I have purchased some acetone to soak them in, but didn't want to do anything until I got some advice. First time posting, so apologies if I have posted in the wrong section, thought this was probably a "glass" kind of question[ATTACH=full]129684[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129685[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
