OK...I have tried everything to get my new HONKING vessels off of some mandrels. I am using sludge because they are honking vessels and scuplted. SO...put the Tink mandrel sideways in a vice grip, banged the vice grip with a heavy hammer...the vice grip...not the mandrel, vessel slid right off
hope this helps a few folks. I put this int he family room so that more folks would see it...this has been driving me nuts for weeks now
