GC IV table disassembly Slate question

[aussieblake]

I did a search and did not find an exact answer to my question so I thought I would post it here.

I may disassembling a GCIV next weekend to move 220 miles and store for a few months. My question is about separating the slates:

If the slate seams are filled with Bees wax I assume there is nothing special to do and the slates will pull apart fairly easy?

If the slate seams are filled with Bondo what is the process of separating the slates to prevent chipped edges?

If the slate seams are filled with some type water putty of epoxy type putty what is the process of separating the slates to prevent chipped edges?

And if super glue was used on the seams, are there any special precautions to use?

Thanks,

score the seams with sharp razor blade slowly and the you can wedge a large screwdriver between the slates on the sides with a little wiggling back and forth it should seperate if it is a gc1 or 2 be carefull if it is a pinned slate table.
