There is a good write up on doing the de-tango.
Follow the instructions and it's very easy.
Just don't turn the oven too high or go out and forget that the lights in there.

How did you make a mess of it?
A tube of black rubber adhesive helps for revealing them

If I could do it anybody can Thumbs Up

Or plan B send Disco Mikey a pm he does this on an exchange basis

I bought a heat gun for £11 to do mine. Didn't fancy the oven method. First one was a bit of a struggle but second was easier.

I use a heat gun and a laser thermometer, makes doing them simple and predictable Thumbs Up Altox GSM FBH controller thread
