Yep. Always stank of pear drops, at least it did many years ago when the
wife still used such stuff. Perhaps it has been reformulated since then.
Part of my redundancy payoff was 10 gallons of acetone which will last
longer than I shall.

Usually readily available at motor factors.

I've got a small bottle of acetone from Boots - more than enough for
small cleaning jobs.

Use a brass drift and give it a bloody good whack with a 2lb hammer after
heating.
Next time, don't spend so much time cleaning the "chuck" before gluing the
work on :-)
Could be worse, at least you can remove the washer from the "chuck" with a
facing tool. <BEG>
Mark Rand (used to use super-glue to hold accelerometers on steam turbine
bearing pedestals, now use Loctite 603 and Permabond A1046 for wax-chuck work
depending on viscosity requirements)

Tried that

Were you watching <G> It was probably the 5mm long register with about
.0005 clearance to the "washer" that made it difficult

That was an option, however another 60 minutes at 250 deg C and it
fell apart. I obviously did not give it long enough the first time,
oven and arbor probably did not come up to temp in the time allowed.
