How to unbond bond
Ok I dont have access to this, email from son.
They have an induction hob and the hob has been bonded to the work top at either side. Apparently its not silicon. Any ideas on how to loosen the bond to remove the hob. My understanding is hob has a metal lip that attaches to the worktop at the sides. The worktop is granite. Any prising to release it would crack the glass hob. |

I used to think my kitchen sink was bonded to the worktop until I looked underneath and found that in fact it was fixed with several screw-up clips. Just sayin' John |

To use this, do _not_ try to pry bits up. Hold the spike upright and run it back and forth rapidly over the sealant, with enough pressure that it steadily breaks up. Again, do not use the spike to dig with. NT |

Use a cheese wire. A thin steel wire with the ends wrapped round a dowel at each end, just work it from side to side whilst exerting tension on the wire .

There may well be cunning metal clips underneath that only become obvious when you have partially disassembled the hobs electronics cage. My understanding is hob has a metal lip that attaches to the worktop at the sides. The metal lip may well be largely cosmetic top edge finishing. The worktop is granite. Any prising to release it would crack the glass hob. Or scratch the granite worktop. A very sharp thin blade and/or the most aggressive organic solvent you can find might have some effect. Ideally you need to know what sort of glue it is. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

The only voids you are likely to see in granite is where uranium has decayed to radon, and the holes would then be full of lead ultimately. Some granites will stain fairly easily I simply dont believe that.

Mine was professionally fitted too, they didn't use any sealant. (yes I know you can DIY granite but there are limits to what I can move and 30 mm granite is not light.) The hob came with a rubber strip glued along the edge and that presses on the worktop through the weight of the hob. There are spring clips fitted to the sides but they are there to stop lateral movement. To remove it you take out the drawer underneath and push upwards, if you try and leaver it out it will break. |

I don't buy it. I think he's want it out for easiness. But looking at undersides. All the access and the only access to the cooker is on the underside. So in situ yea, it's awkward. But I bet it's doable. He said it was just a sensor that needs replaced. I reackon I can do in situ." Unquote. Apparently it is a sensor that needs replacing. |

No harm in trying, but you may as well try melting the loose bit. I guess granite worktop and pyrex hob would stand up to a blowtorch so that might be one way to seriously weaken the bond. If it is soft bendy like silicone then I'd be going for a pack of classic razor blades, putting a copper safe edge on one side of it and then a small handle to allow it to be used as a thin saw come knife. There is a real risk of snapping it used like this but it is perhaps the only thing that will cut a thin polymer glue in a confined space. A boxcutter might also do the job if there is space (with the same risks of snapping the blade and sharp breaks if forced). -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Being more manageable Gel would certainly preferable for use with acrylic baths or anywhere where liquid acetone might attack any adjacent plastic surfaces. Otherwise (apart from its ability to eat/etch various plastics) contrary to what tabby claims actetone is fairly benign in use and is the best way of cleaning uncured resin from tools and hands when doing GRP layup - providing the latter is followed up with soap and water. And again obviously only a glue sniffer would deliberately want to breathe in the fumes or use it in a confined space. In any case, it'll all work much better once the clips holding this hob down have been removed. In which case it probably only serves as a sealant and maybe no solvent will be needed. To avoid undue stressing it might be an idea to try and twist it off, if you can get a grip, rather then lever it up. |
