Default 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.


Why is he trying to do this?
Which matters most here the hob or the work surface?

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.
