[R-390] Meter glass stuck to meter face.

Fellows.

Its the old meter glass is stuck to the meter face trick.
Sorry you both have old rubbers.
This is quite common and not just R390 related.

Its skill and craft time. 
Get out the exacto knifes and do some surgery.
I would recommend some solvents, however you have exposed meters
and solvent in the jewels could be worse than the cure.

Start with two knifes or a couple razor blades.
Do not respond if blood becomes involved. (be careful)
No one on the R390 net will want to hear about it.

In easy with a blade between the glass and the rubber gasket.
Do not pry at large angles.
Try not to mark up the meter face with a blade point.
You will likely need to work around the whole meter face.

What do you fellows plan to do to create new meter face art?

There are some real nice new art coming off the printers.
However the problem is getting that ink onto a surface with
stick stuff that will really stay on a meter for the next unpteen years.
