To transfer gel into liquid form

Answer 1

There are many forms of gels and there is no universal method.

The method with the highest probability of success is heating the gel up, turning it into sol, but it is temporary and reversible.

Generally, forming gel may involve irreversible 3D linkage, that cannot easily be undone without destruction of gel structure and content.

If chemical structure of gel is known, there can be chosen a reaction leading to break the polymer structure, if applicable with the overall gel content.
