Kendo11 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I know there are quite a few guides on here but wanted to ask how difficult it should be to split the units? I've had mine in the oven 3 times at 120 and still can not get them apart using elbow grease and a flat screwdriver.. Is there a knack or is it just perseverance????

Westy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Have they ever been opened and resealed before!? They aren't that difficult to get apart...how long are you leaving them in for!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 5 mind each time. Looks like they've been opened before actually. Just applied an extra amount of elbow grease and finally done one. Was panicking a bit as didn't want to bloody melt em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I thought that might be the case as whoever done them before might not have used the original sealant...I put mine back together with black silicone. Glad you've for there in the end though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostbuster Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 You may find running around the edge with a stanley knife helps, but be careful not to slip and lose a digit or to cut through the gully the glass fits into. I've found 5 mins is plenty. If they have been re stuck with silicone you can get silicone remover from B&Q, it's an overnight wait though. Make sure they are VERY clean and VERY dry when you put them back together, you will probably find they will mist up a lot more after though.
