The one I did was in no hurry to "pop". As the edges softened up I inserted popsicle sticks around the perimeter and kept working the heat gun around, inserting the sticks in further, until finally there was a "pop" and the glass had lifted. It wasn't quite as easy as I had hoped but I think most anyone here could handle it. I suspect some are easier than others. The only other one I did had been sitting outside and water had gotten in the adhesive, breaking it down. There was nothing holding it except the tape. I think putting a tough one face down in water might work but I don't know how long you would have to leave it before the glue broke down. Maybe a few days, but maybe a few months! Someday I may try it if the oppurtunity strikes. I used little pieces of popsicle stick as spacers around the edge, about 6 or 8 of them, crazy glued in place while I was setting the safety glass. On the first one I did you can just see the pieces if you know where to look so on the second I 'painted' the sticks black and you can't pick them out. Overall, I enjoyed doing them. The toughest part by far was getting the PVA softened up enough.
