Favorite method for reclaiming friction fit carts

I love friction fit c cell cartridges, but I have come across defects in my process. I am currently armed with no ideas for testing carts beforehand, and my methods for reclaim are quite low tech. As of now we just wrench them asunder with pliers, but this leads to loss.

Another side issue encountered was our inability to use a heat gun to get the fluid warm enough to expediently reclaim. Is there any novel solutions to this?

Break them open, dump them in a bucket, fill bucket with ethanol. You probably know what to do from there.

You haven’t had issues with oxidization? Everything turns red when I use ethanol to reclaim. EDIT: I live on the coast. The humidity is very intense.
