Hello Susannah,

    I've used a glass jar with ground stopper for decades. You're right,
    the boric acid builds up as the alcohol evaporates. My solution
    which has worked for several months is to use the tinyest bit of
    silicone grease to coat the ground glass areas. Where can you get
    silicone grease? I got mine from the chemistry glass shop on campus.
    I suspect any university or college with a chemistry lab will have
    some and you only need a little dab. 

Best of luck,
Judy in Kansas
