This is one of the cases where that is how you try the first time you
ever do it.

But never again.

There's no hope of it coming out in one piece - unless it's bedded in
silicone. Tape only delays removing the pieces. This thread seems to me
to only achieve delaying the job.

I'm not interested in removing it in one piece, as it will be scrap
anyway. Just want to minimise any damage caused by falling glass. Which is
why I asked this question.

We knew that from the start.
