I purchased a Milk Wonder Perfect Glass (Herbert von der Linden) on another site. It was supposed to be in new condition.

Unfortunately, the glass leaked at the seal in the bottom middle of the glass. Seller told me, “it was perfect when I sent it.”

Anyway, I want to repair this. The instructions that came with it are in German. It seems that all that I need to do is drill out the plug, refill the liquid, and resell with silicon. I just don’t know how tall to fill the replaced liquid.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I am sorry you got taken. These German sealed milk glasses do not last a long time. The milk evaporates just from setting on a shelf. While I worked for the local magic shop, they did not have a long shelf life, meaning after a year, you can see the level has went down. They did work perfectly.

Does the instructions tell you what to fill it with, and what kind of silicon silent? You have to be very careful drilling out plastic. If you use the wrong size bit, it will catch and tear up the plastic and split it to pieces. Best to use a set of drill bits, so that you increase the size with each bit. Take longer, but you don't split the glass.

You fill it to just below the inner lining. be careful, that solution is toxic, wear gloves and work on it outside.

I suggest you get Milk Tex from Penguin Magic, I have some mixed for over 10 years with only water and the jar is still full and has never separated.

Good Luck.

Hi Bill,

Thank you so much for your comprehensive and helpful answers. I’ll let you know how it goes after I complete it.

Warm regards,
Lou
