Use steel wool, solder and a 3# hammer to deal with a head separation; THAT is a great idea!

I stuck hundreds of cases years ago when I was experimenting with commercial case lubes and various substitutes but I never had one fail to pull out with a "bolt in the butt" puller. IF I ever get one that won't pull normally I'm gonna try your method!
