[Shop-talk] Separating copper

[eric@megageek.com]

Quick question, I have an antique split bamboo fishing rod that is 
*suppose* to separate in the middle.  The problem is that they are stuck 
solid.

I've tried WD40, and some other lubricants with no luck.  Heat really 
isn't an option. 

So, any ideas?  I need to be careful, because I don't want to destroy or 
damage the rod.  (I believe the metal tips are either copper)

Thanks.
