Post subject:  Opening a fish glue joint?

hi all,
I've got a neck block that slipped whilst clamping and of course I didn't notice it till the next day, it needs taken out and re-done. Can anyone suggest the best method of opening a fish glue joint, Its just glued on two faces sides / soundboard so there's plenty of access thankfully.
Help appreciated
Geordie

many thanks Todd, I should have mentioned it's been lying in my workshop for four months, I've been away all summer.

You are going to have to get that joint wet somehow. I have used pallet knives in hot water for removing a back. It was a painful experience. FG does not like to let go. Water and heat together work best, I think.

Hope you're all fine back in Scotland.
