Default Removing Arctic Alumina Adhesive

Does anyone tried removing Arctic Alumina Adhesive? Yes, I know "CAUTION! Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive is a permanent adhesive. Any components you attach together with Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive will stay attached forever."


I have heard to try freezing it and that should crack it. Has anyone else tried this or can confirm? The information does state: Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive should be kept cold and away from UV light (sunlight and florescent lighting). UV light would weak it as well? Any chemicals that would work? Thanks!

No offense or anything, but why did you glue something together if you intended to remove it later?

Freeze is most likely make it brittle, but I wouldn't put it under UV light unless I knew why it wasn't supposed to be under UV light. There could be some reaction so I'd be careful with that.

Because I'm a reckless modder.

UV light usually breaks down bonds. I just want to confirm this will work. Seriously, what bad dangerous reaction could occur?
