Recently I was handed 2 Butera Coloring Bowls. I was asked to clean and replace the cork on them. I was told they don't seal while sitting in the bowl. In other words over the years the cork has been compressed and not allowing everything to sit together tightly. Also both of them have thick uneven cake in their bowls. Their rims have a thick build up on them.
This leads me to my need for help and info. The area that holds the cork is screwed into the Meershaum. From research this section is removable, the issue is secured into place I assume is tars and other stuff that has gotten the threads. My question is, is there a safe method that can be used to loosen this stuff so the section can be cleaned and cork replaced?
I hope you understand my ramblings, at times it is difficult for me to put my thought into words.
