I have three pieces of Heights aluminum tower that are stuck together.  The
top two pieces came apart very easily when we took the tower down.
Appeared someone had used a copper based antioxidant on the sections.  The
bottom sections appeared to have been forgotten.  I have tried to pry the
bottom sections apart using blocks of wood and a bottle jack.  I have also
heated the sections.  At one point I melted wax into the joints to try to
separate.  Any other tricks of the trade.     Thanks  Bill
