[Healeys] Oops

[Robert Blair]

John,

You have probably separated them by now ..... but in case not.

1.  They are probably stuck by ice between the two tight surfaces - not
dis-similar contraction ceofficients.
2.  So warm the outer glass with very warm [not boling] water, but not the
inner glass.  This should melt the ice between the interfering surfaces.
3.  It should separate easily - assuming your wife did not jam the two
together with an interference fit at room temp.

Cheers....
