Troubleshooting
Glass appears cloudy after washing
This can sometimes happen with handmade glass. Try soaking in a mixture of warm water and white vinegar for a few hours, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Glass feels unstable
Ensure the surface is flat and stable. The unique expanding base is designed for aesthetic appeal and may require a slightly more deliberate placement than traditional shot glasses.
Minor imperfections in the glass
As these are handmade items, slight variations, small air bubbles, or minor imperfections are characteristic of the craft and not considered defects.
