    Hey guys, I tried my usual recipe of 300F for 8 minutes, but I can't get these apart. Has anyone Retro'd these and have any tips?

    Someone said it was indeed possible, so I'll have to take another stab at it today.

    It might take several times in the oven, try and use two screw drivers or maybe a large head flat head.
