It has been confirmed that J. Vibert's surface plate is of the "ledge type" form factor and is produced from a solid piece of granite. Suggestions on how to separate the believed sections, although appreciated, are now unnecessary. Thank you all very much.
Howdy,
Just yesterday I happen to win a 36x24x4" surface plate at a local online auction. This morning I went to pick up my prize and was surprised to see it adhered to another smaller plate. Why...?..., I have no idea. At any rate the "combo" was sold as a single lot. However now I have a double thick plate which is too much for me to move solo.
I can't say for sure what compound is being used to hold the two plates together, but there is bead of what appears to be silicone along the mating edge.
Can anyone suggest a silicone solvent that I may use that won't harm the plates. Or simply just tell me that I have nothing to worry about....lol.
I have no idea and no means to check how thorough the glue job is, but the hope is to use something that will creep between the plates and liquefy the silicone entirely.
Maybe if I can get lucky I'll end up with two plates for the cost of one.
Any feedback is welcome, and thanks in advance
