Using temperature to free glass from
stainless steel
+++++++
I currently a junior in high school and have a piece of glass that
I draped over a stainless steel cylinder. The problem is the cylinder
was not a perfect cylinder and I now can't get the glass off it. Do
you have any sugestions of either cooling the cylinder since metal
should contract faster than glass or corroding the cylinder(which is
already rusty)?

Try WD-40 [link is to product info at Amazon], David, then
try putting it in a freezer. Don't believe what you see about acid in
movies; it will prove totally impractical to dissolve the cylinder.
