Hi Greg, Good idea. As I get older, I tend to miss the obvious. I have already tried a soldering iron, but I nearly burned myself. It seems to be a hotglue type, even although it is much harder than any I have seen, when cool. Someone else had suggested trying heat, at the same time as I tried it, to determine the properties of the glue. Thank you. Regards, John M.
