HELP! Purge Money Shot Cap Stuck to Build Deck!

[CrazyChef v2.0]

Any idea how I can separate the two? They're stuck together pretty well. Maybe our resident |P|U|R|G|E| expert Mr. Gadget can help?

This can be a real pain!
I've read that putting them in the freezer helps but I've never been able to make it work.
The best I've tried is to soak it overnight in WD-40.
If you can't get it off, maybe I'll buy it from you and take a chance that I can get it off

It's in the freezer right now. Hopefully, I'll have good news in about an hour. I had considered WD-40, but how do I get it all off after it's done?

I use a pair of vape tweezers (the ones that have an opening for an RDA) and I have an atty stand that's really sturdy that I screw the deck on so I can get some good leverage. Then I just work it back and forth.
Good luck

Good idea. But what I meant was, how do I get the WD-40 off of the RDA and deck?

Although in retrospect, WD-40 can't taste any worse than Pluid. That stuff was nasty. I have no idea how it got so popular back then.

Lol,
Ketchup
Scrub it down with Ketchup then wash it real good with soap and water, you should be good.

Welp, the freezer didn't work. Time to soak in WD-40.

I tried again, but this time ran a metal rod through the airflow holes. It came right off!
She ain't pretty, but I'll fix her up real nice.

Wow!
At least you got it off!
I'll have to remember that metal rod trick

You started it!
I bought my first Purge from you.

No shit?!?!? Damn, I've cost you a LOT of $$$!

I only have one Purge mod left - a copper B2B V2 with a forced patina.

@CrazyChef v2.0
I've only bought about a half dozen new, the rest I've picked up in forums or FB Groups.

Everything is getting a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner right now. Let's hope it all comes out pretty!

I have 2 that I sent to Mathew Hagermann and had custom engraved.

I'm telling you, clean them up with Ketchup first. You won't believe what it does, it will take all the tarnish off!

I used Meguiar's polish and a Dremel buffing tool. I ran out of Mother's, but this still works - just not as good.

 

[CrazyChef v2.0]

Much better. The build deck is a bit miscolored, but I didn't think it was necessary to buff the inside.
