another option I use

Yes, you can recap a grande. Take the top off carefully, try not to bend it. After filtering the lamp put a small amount of gasket sealant on the inside ring of the lid. Not the whole lid....just where it sits down on the glass. Put very little or it will squeeze out into the lamp. Then have a friend push down on the top while your crimp the metal cap back under the lip like it was before you took it off. Let it sit without running for 48 hrs to let the gasket sealant cure. Now you are good to go. I have done two grandes like this and (knock on wood) neither one of them leaks.

you pry the cap off carefully with a small screwdriver then a larger one as you revolve around the globe opening it a bit more at a time each revolution, then use glue to put it back on as you tap the crimp back in place
Somewhere on this site is a tutorial I made showing how to do this
I want to filter the liquid in my Grande.....question is. How in the world do I seal the globe back up?? It has a big friggin' hole at the top and I know the cap isn't going back on because of the way it's made. What have others used to re-seal their Grandes?
