Sometimes it will soften enough with a heat gun to pry it apart but don't count on it. I have found that a good solid crash is really the only reliable way to separate epoxy joints.

I've had "some" success getting epoxyed stuff apart by heating
a saber saw blade with a torch and forcing it between the bonded
surfaces. Ain't pretty,takes time , and it stinks to high heaven but it works.
Good luck

Get a 30 Watt Soldering Iron with a flat blade on it, (the sharper the better).
Let it heat up and start pealing the epoxy away in thin strips. This is a slow methodical method but it works.
I was taught to do this when replacing components on printed circuit boards that were sealed in epoxy.

Thanks a lot guys!! I will give it a go but don't think I will have much success. I had a crash
and the wing joint had a reenforcing plywood short spar in the joint. I guess I will just have
to cut the wing open and blast the part out. Again, thanks a bunch!
