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.
