Baked....

Then ran the \"Green Goo Gauntlet\"... there is a trick to putting them back together. Go from the short side to the thicker side and use a butter knife to prise them apart (once its hot)... 100 degrees for 10 mins worked for me.

Work quickly and put back in oven before trying to put back together.

If I can do it.. ANYONE can !

Cheers

Wayne

Hmmm, I've done this before not using the oven and cracked one. Wonder if I should tempt fate again....

i started using the hair dryer then used the oven. I cracked a little bit of the case due to impatience.

The oven was definietly better though. I did the second one in about a fifth of the time it took me to do the first
