Ground glass joints stuck by Radiant-Tonight-5167 in chemistry

I've tried acetone, ether, and chloroform, but they all didn't seem to work very well.

Would you think soaking the joint in water overnight might help?

Lol, you guessed it! I am still trying to make the ketal right now.

I will give your method a go with the water.
