after having a few attempts at making depo's from valeo's and failing miserably (smashing, cutting fingers, etc..) using the oven, boiling water, hairdryer and prizing with a small screw driver...
i was tempted to give it another bash because i can get hold of a heat gun today
Q - is it any easier using a heat gun??
cheers

Valeos nearly always break mate. You're better off just saving your fingers and purchasing either some that will split or Depos already made

2 sets of valeo's. Smash the glass on one set and smash all the black plastic shit on the other set and keep the 2 good bits of glass then paint the inside bits as you would then stick the 2 together... magic

You can't smash the plastic off
You need to heat the plastic up and cut it off with a good knife, that will leave you with good glass. Then for the plastic you will want to smash the glass, break as much off as you can with a pair of grips then get a screw driver that fits snugly into the groove and heat the glue with a hair dryer and scrape it out with a screw driver.
PITA though, not a nice job to do.
