ground glass + NaOH = :(

Anyone know how to fix this?

I thought if I was careful and kept the ground glass dry I wouldn't have a problem. Well that is nearly impossible, and my glass joint is basically stuck.

Any help?

Seriously: heat it up to 100-150C and sometimes it come out. Or try to hit it a littlebit to a table and maybe it will release....

Plenty of threads about this here already. Search around a little before posting.
