Does anyone have a ideas/views on separating the lower segments of a 4 part
Werner Carbon Fiber paddle which is stuck.  I tried penetrating oil, strap
wrenches, mild heat from hot water, all to no avail. My own fault of course,
I hadn't separated them for a year and I think water evaporated (fresh)
leaving calcium carbonate or some such behind.  I am planning a vinegar soak
with a rag around the joint for a few days.  Any wisdom?
