<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1827244, member: 8267"]If I understand the problem correctly - it is the felt you want to remove, not the ship from the wood. Rather than risk staining or warping the wood by soaking the whole thing, I would opt for mechanical methods. Use weights, padded clamps, or a patient person to hold half of the board to a table, leaving half suspended over the edge. Crawl underneath, and use a razor/paint scraper to carefully remove as much of the felt and glue as possible. Then use sandpaper to smooth it out. (Wear eye protection - and channel Michelangelo working on the Sistine Chapel). Turn the board around and repeat on the other half.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
