I have two parts here that were sprayed together, but were never actually glued. I now want to separate them, how do I do that? I've tried brute force pulling them apart, but I'm afraid to break them.

If there is is no glue, it shouldn’t take a lot of force. You might want to try to get the tip of a hobby knife in there and gently pry.

Or if paint is holding them together, just strip off all the paint and they should just fall apart.

Unfortunately, the pieces are slotted together, so the paint has gotten right in there.

If you soak them in one of the many chemicals people on here use to strip paint off, they should come apart. Worst case if you do use force and they break, you can use green stuff to fix what does break on them.

I got them apart! Case closed!
