Nick, I might mention, in case you don't know it, that you can separate parts that have been glued with T-88 by using a heat source such as a hairdryer. This works better for me than grinding or sanding one part from another. Use just enough heat to soften the glue and separate the parts. I have used a putty knife or screwdriver to poke into the joint to test when the glue is beginning to soften and then gently separate the pieces by prying, adding no more than just enough heat to do the job. Then it is fairly easy to sand the glue from the separated surfaces. You could make up a test joint to practice and see how much heat it takes.
