Cut and glued my new paddle and now realise its too long. Tried twisting the handle off to re-cut but no dice. Anyone know how to break the Araldite bond? Thanks in advance

thanks for that, I am using a Starboard paddle which is an internal fit also, I probably went a bit o.b. with the glue. I guess if i cut it off anyway (as you mention) then the shaft will be on the outside of the handle so should be relatively easy to remove / cut off.

Not sure how the carbon fibre would go at 1 fiddy in the oven?!! maybe i can pop the whole paddle into a mates pizza oven...........

From the Sellys website.....

# Wipe off any uncured araldite with acetone or nail polish remover.
# To remove product after cure, mechanical action (scraping or sanding) is recommended. Since the product is chemically resistant solvent will NOT dissolve this product.
# To reposition the bond once cured, check that the item is heat resistant. If safe, heat the item slowly, e.g. in an oven, to at least 150oC. The product will soften and liquify slightly. Scrape off any excess then reposition the joint carefully using appropriate safety equipment. Allow the item to cool down in the correct position. The product will reharden once returned to room temperature.

I have done heat a few times and never had an issue, as lacey said, heat it gently.

I have used a hair dryer and it didn't take much to get it to release, just heat a little and give it a twist, keep doing that till it lets go so you avoid any more heat than required.
