    You guys are seriously having a problem with the ferrite? Just a couple whacks with a regular hammer is all that it takes. The glue is the pain in the butt with them and takes way longer to seperate than the ferrite.
    don't think you'll see much success as glue seems kinda rubberize , last winter it was below zero so much , I sure loved how the cast metals cracked easier along with plastic but na that stubborn glue cold don't bother it. maybe 50 below zero ??
    I use a mallot but when i get the glue type (since they don't all have it) i set aside for special handling , some times i'll get most of copper and put aside the small glue copper portion for special handling .
