Re: Glued Gulbransen Stacks
By Peter Neilson
Here are some methods I've heard of for opening them:
Cold - Put the stack in a grocer's freezer, and find an area on the
freezer floor that's not properly leveled. Place stack so
it spans a valley in the floor. Once it's good and cold,
jump on it! It'll bust open.
Heat - Build a metal box that'll connect to a microwave oven with
the front door removed. The box will be long enough to hold
the stack, and must somehow defeat the interlock. It'll act
as a waveguide. Cook until done, -er-, -ah-, melted.
Wham - Work at it with hammer and chisel as Reblitz recommends for
general undoing of glue joints you cannot heat.
I've not tried any of these. I sent mine to some guy in Missouri, and was not really pleased with the result. It's not tight, and I had to do a lot of fiddling to get things working right.
