Do you have any idea how I might go about solving this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Lucy
I do. As learned from this site. Add a drop of Tru-Flo to it every time you look at it. Continue this until you think you've soaked more than you needed to. Then heat it with a hair dryer. Get it good and hot. Try again to see if they will separate. If not, continue the above. Guaranteed to work. May take some time, but it will work. Don't do the screw driver trick like me as that particular piece is only pot metal. I have a bid on another BU for parts. If I don't get it, I'm going to try liquid weld on the piece or take it to my trusty metal worker.
As an after thought, does anyone recommend a compound to repair broken pot metal?
