Fresh wood to freshly sanded old wood and using Elmer's Carpenter glue.
It sat from about 9:00PM ish last night till about 1:30 this afternoon clamped together.
HOW in the world do I break this bond so I can reposition that part?

Joe. Very carefully I am afraid. You will need a thin sharp flat blade(strong) to wedge inbetween to tap the parts apart loose. There will be some splentering but the sooner you separate them the better. Sand all the glue you can get off the parts and start over. If you can get a corner loose get some acetone in there to help the process along. Good luck!
