Dunno, Robert.  Didn't have dynamite, blow torch was out of fuel.  Guess I
figured acid disfiguration was the next-most suitable punishment.

Sadly, it only loosened the join rather than scarring the paddle.  Later, a
chemistry teacher tried the same thing independently and found it worked even
as his wife had me on the phone, frantically asking how to get her new paddle
separated.  Probably something I should remember from Chem 101. :-)
