OK, so it's happened again, rocket completely destroyed after parachute failed to deploy properly.
I am now recovering all the parts I can from the pieces, I have actually got everything except the motor retainer back. My problem is how to remove it from the motor tube as it's epoxied on with high temperature epoxy (JB-Weld). My oven isn't hot enough to free the bond, I was thinking of using a blowtorch, or putting it on a coal fire for a bit. Has anyone had any success with recovering parts that are attached using high temperature epoxy?
