Lol...that happened to me my very first workshop I did as a demo a couple of years back. A customer ended up helping me put it back together. I have had to put back together the same pad one other time, luckily that was just at my desk. I now open my Bermuda Bay ink pad really nicely when teaching. If you can pop it apart again you need to make sure that the polls of the pad fit into the slide part, not the end holes where the locking mechanism is. You need to do this with the lid on upside done, or in open form and slide in from the ends. You do get your hands inky, so wear a pair of gloves if you have some. Hope this helps. I don't think I discribed it really well. Basically look at another open ink pad just before you lock the lid and that is how you need to slide the lid back on.
