I could use some help here too, I've been trying everything.

I have a glass on glass downstem (with a diffuser) stuck in my bong right now. The remote accidentally fell on it and wedged it in there pretty good (im just glad it didn't break!). The bowl got wedged as well but I was able to get that out.

I've tried: gentle twisting and tugging combined with all of the following; rubbing alcohol (its absolutely spotless now and still stuck), wd-40, olive oil, crisco, dish soap, lime/hard water remover, and applying a lighter around the edge. i stuck it in the freezer for an hour to see if maybe expanded water/ice would pop it out, no luck. I let it get back to room temperature after that and now I have it soaking in a sink inside and out full of boiling water. It's been in there for about 45 minutes now (and I keep adding fresh boiling water) and I keep trying to free it up and it won't budge. I'm trying the differences in temperature because I figure maybe the glass can contract? But I'm pretty sure this is some strongly tempered glass so something tells me this isn't going to contract or expand much, if at all.

Pleaseeeee help me! I have pretty much run out of ideas over here. Short of just soaking it in rubbing alcohol for a month till its absolutely spotless and taking it to a glassblower for help. So yeah, help me unstick my downstem!

Thanks!
