<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 592321, member: 8267&quot;]As with any skilled work it varies with the location and the individual.

Sometimes if the substrate is strong enough, and the glue weak enough, you can pull things apart. Or gently work the layers apart with a small spatula. But things can be going along fine and then, oops! there is a rip and a hole. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
