How do you open up the Q3?

Use boil water, dip only the head and body for 10 seconds. Now you can open it by use cloth prevent from heat.
 
I learned the hard way that the torx screws to the belt clip also seem to be sealed with LocTite...I broke my torx bit trying to remove it! Not only that but I stripped the tiny screws so now it's there forever /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I will try it again with a new bit and the hot-water technique.
 
The hot water did not work for me.
I chickened out when the sealed pouch started to melt.
What did work was gently playing a flame from a Micro Butane torch about 2 inches from the metal. And remember the Q III comes apart in 4 not 3 pieces.

Once apart, the epoxy residue cleans up with lacquer thiner.
It was reported in another thread that Acetone did not work on this type of epoxy.
