Hello all! I'm working on dismantling a parts coach and cannot get the adhesive to "pop" on the nose cone. All the fasteners are removed, so I'm pretty sure the only thing holding it is the adhesive applied at assembly. Anyone had much luck separating these panels without damaging the fiberglass? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Dave I have done this use a wide putty knife and a heat gun if you have one
go along the outside and tap the putty knife between the seam and work your
way up and down use a light hammer drive it between the seam.Hope this helps.
