How to Avoid Breaking Lamp Chimneys
An Alta California note explains lamp chimneys crack from unequal expansion and offers remedies. It suggests scoring the glass with straight perpendicular cuts around the bulging part to provide space for expansion, or reheating a diamond to harden it if unavailable. It then advises soaking the chimney in a tin pail in a stove to cool slowly overnight and next day, removing soot with an air brush if needed, and avoiding soap suds to keep glass cleaner yet fragile.
