Goblin mini Stuck

[Zaahid237]

Hi all.
I have just bought a goblin mini from a fellow forum member. Cant seem to get it open. its stuck so tight I have blisters on my fingers trying to open it. ive tried rubber gloves, rubber bands, hot water and a hairdryer. none have seemed to work
Anyone else had this issue or any any advice? please advise

Thanks in advance

Try put in freezer for 10 mins, then try unscrew.

ten minutes is gone already. Do tell !

still not open.

Boiling water on top part and freezing on bottom part ?

Prolly something went crystal on you in the threads

will try the boiling water on top. just worried the glass will crack.
i feel like driving over it.

Take a few nice up close pictures if possible, maybe someone who has one can spot if something is wrong that way?

Glass will most likely not crack if you don't have the heat split sitting on the glass. As a note : to clean my tanks I chuck them in a cup of boiled water and stir it up. Probably not the best technique but I don't have all these fancy fingamajicks to use

Glad you came right @Zaahid237. I had to throw away an arctic tank I couldn't open.. Well gave it away
