Yeah I put them in my oven on 250 for 5mins then pulled apart with a flat blade, and still had to use a heat gun for the parts that was stuck real good

I scuffed it all up with 400grit, then sprayed adhesion promoter couple coats then within 10mins of the last coat sprayed high temp matte white paint. Then heated up the sealant that was still in the crack with a heat gun. Then put a bead of sealant in the crack with it and push it back together. Thats how I did it anyone else can chime in if they do it any different. 85609191.jpg c0994eb8.jpg
