Hi,
I want to seperate a fillament wound carbon tube from a steel bicycle frame that was bonded using Vuduglu 
Can this be done without cutting the tube or damaging the carbon tube or the steel frame? heat, acetone etc?

Cheers Tony

The best way is heat and movement.
If you can apply the heat to the inside of the meal tube so it transfers outwards to the glue before the carbon even better
