How do you remove plaster from inside an antique lamp base to rewire it
l have an antique glass lamp base that needs to be rewired. The metal top
that holds the bulb is attached to the glass with plaster of paris, which
prevents us from taking it apart. Is soaking it in water for a long time
the only way to remove the plaster? Wo not that damage the metal? l
believe it is called Sauereisen cement.
I would suggest that you write to these people:

The fact that you were even able to come up with the name Sauereisen made
things so much simpler. They have (for several decades) made what are
called ''potting compounds'' . These are cements used to secure
electronic gizmos inside a variety of plastic or metal containers. Email
them, & if you can bend a sympathetic & interested ear down at that company, you will have everything you need at ur fingertips. You can probably break it down with hydrochloric (muriatic) acid, available at some hardware stores, but I don't want to send you there unless you need to be there. It can give you chemical burns. If THEY send you in that direction, I will warn you now: buy a face shield, gloves & a plastic apron. School Backpack Bridal Gift Registry Wicked Broadway Tickets
