YES! I think that is the reason for some frustration on this board... methods for dealing with one type of bonding material may not be effective, and perhaps even dangerous to use to remove another type.
Dow Corning 184 for example, was sometimes used on smaller special purpose tubes where high optical quality was desired... I suspect that heat alone would not be effective to remove a faceplate bonded with 184.
