Damages a lot of plastics though.

Patience, the OP is currently at the planning stage. It will all come together as a glorious success or the best catastrophe ever seen. I have the feeling that it will not be carried out by half measures.

Slight anti-climax I am afraid.

I used a 4 inch wide razor blade in a paint scraper with a 12″ long handle. Slid the razor smoothly along the surface of the desk until it hit the side of the tile and swiftly levered it up. I expected the tile to snap but it just popped up taking a couple of small sections of the desk top plastic with it.

The remaining coasters were left on greaseproof paper while the glue dried and were all fine.

^^ There was absolutely no minor cuts or injuries? At all?

No way this ended with such minimal violence.😉

Edit: How do you intend to cover the marks left on the table top? This could prove crucial to the thread and your well being.

Possibly something to do with distilling hydrochloric acid using a blow torch and using the vapours to evaporate a sacrificial plastic fitting then condensing the plastic laden acid vapour onto the desk top surface by dripping liquid nitrogen over the damaged areas.

Seems the most obvious and easiest way to me.

That’s a bit harsh on him.

a child with eye lids glued together with super glue.

This child wasn’t complaining of recently losing some hair bands?

^^ Absolute lol.😆 What the hell was he thinking of?!

FWIW, I’m pretty sure that Electroboom knows exactly what he’s doing. Doesn’t make his channel any less funny though.
