New egg halves stuck together

Ran the egg up to 650 to clean the grid (watched it entire time... never got any hotter) and found it stuck shut after it cooled. Guess the adhesive melted and ran. This was the 6th time I've used it and have been careful to keep temps under 400 previously. Wonder if the thermometer failed... cap was off, bottom vent open wide, fresh load of Royal Oak but the thermometer never showed above 650.

Can't get a table knife between the gasket halves... even with a little tapping from a mallet. Is it time for the box cutter and gasket kit?
