Unless it's different than any other filter I have seen, the filter is
basically a sandwidge of a gel type substance that is the actual filter,
with two peices of glass protecting it. I don't think it will come apart
easy, and even if it comes apart you'll likely never get it back together
right. I have a couple of cheap UV filters where the gel stuff is kind of
cloudy, so I have been using them as cheap screw on lens caps for seldomly
used lenses. I might try to take one apart and see what happens.
