[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-250 Hatch Dome Removal Question

Steve,
That sounds like a bad idea, you could damage the dome with the heat.  Can you slip a blade between the dome and seat?

 All, I
 am removing my old K-250 hatch dome.  It looks like it has
 been installed with a product like Sikaflex (I'd
 guess).
   
 I would like to not destroy it if possible (or the
 hatch).  It really doesn't want to come out.
 
 I am thinking about heating the hatch's metal ring
 where the dome is seated to maybe break down the sealant or
 soften the acrylic.  I have a concern about the heat
 warping or otherwise affecting the metal of the hatch.
 
 Any input?
 
 Steve
