Hi All.
This is an interesting question. I came into a bunch of old KLM Big
Stickers that had blown down. The aluminum came in very handy for
antenna projects, but it was impossible to get the sections apart as
whatever was used ended up like glue. I tried all the tricks, heat,
etc, but nada. I finally ended up hacksawing them apart, and that lost
all the swagged ends. What is the best thing to use to be able to get
the elements apart in a couple of years? 73
