[QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 42724, member: 181"]I agree, but if the OP's plan is to re-sell this item, then all of the above is irrelevant. I did read where he states the piece is "thoroughly glued". If the plan is to keep for self then be careful when striving to lift the paper, as some parts of that old glue may be much more thoroughly adhered than others causing the paper to tear. Once this happens, you have yet another costly issue. Using a hairdryer to heat the adhesive before slowly lifting the paper has worked for us in the past, but this is a slow process (not recommended) and only helps if the adhesive has not harden to the point of pykrete. Whatever you decide to do with the piece, I wish you much luck and/or many bids.[/QUOTE]
