I'm trying to remove a mirror from a starfinder mirror cell. I tried using a hack saw for a while but its a very slow process. Any sugestions?

Soak the particle board in water until it falls apart was mentioned last time. Maybe that is worth a try. I understood you were going to recoat the mirror, right?
If so, then you could also try the Epoxy remover like i used on a secondary mirror after I had cut it off through the glue. I just soaked the backside in the solution not letting it get on the top side with the coatings.
