Abstract

A layer of adhesive is applied along a separation interface defined between a first surface of a first component and a second surface of a second component. A first portion of a pull cord is embedded into the adhesive layer along the separation interface and between the first and second surfaces. The first portion of the pull cord is positioned to enable the separation interface to be cleaved such that the first component is uncoupled from the second component. A second portion of the pull cord extends externally to the adhesive layer.
