Because of my display preference I have had to bust out a few cards. I have found it to be easy and relatively safe. I have busted open maybe 10. Probably of those the slabs have survived maybe 70% of the time...you do it simply by prying with a screwdriver and separating the two pieces....if you do it a little at a time, there is only a little "frosting" and maybe a pry mark or two. I am confident that if my initial approach was to avoid damage to the slab, I could do it almost every time. I think a little work with some solvents could remove all evidence of frosting...maybe even just being judicious with the reapplication of glue...heat application would probably knock the issue right out. I am betting it would be easily accomplished.
