removing glass from stainless steel mold

Post by Carol Ann »

I slumped over a stainless mold with too hot a temperature. Some of the glass is baked on. Is there way to remove the stuck glass from the stainless mold?
Thanks in advance,
Carol Ann

Rosanna,
Will it not explode? or this is the reason for the safety glasses?


thanks,

it might pop and steam but not explode. safety glasses are cheap and easy insurance. i got a piece of glass in my eye a couple of weeks ago doing something stupid. i was lucky. i washed it out with no harm. safty glasses or a face shield thet took all of 2 seconds to put on would have saved me alot of angst. rosanna
