Purchase a can of dust off or canned air. The stuff you use to blow on electronics/keyboards etc. Spray the ferrule until it becomes good and frosty then attempt to pull apart using the best gripping method you can achieve. This method cools the blank immediately and achieves a way cooler temperature than ice packs or other attempt to cool the blank. Generally the most difficult stuck blanks comes apart with minimal effort in my experience.
I have never heard of this one but I think it is a very bright idea indeed.

I have some jigs I have made for this situation. I have yet to come across a stuck rod that I couldn't get apart. If you would like me to give it a try, I can arrange to meet you in Chilliwack. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. PM me and we'll set it up.

Boys at searun tackle put just the join crossways in the corner of the freezer and carefully close lid gently for about five min.
Popped right apart. I as well rub the oil on the side of my nose on the join before putting together.
