HELP with G-10

[RAGS]

Hey guys, I'm desperate for help with textured g-10 handle scales. Got them cut out and shaped perfect. Now the problem... For some reason I can't peel off the protective layer thats on it to protect the texturing. I've worked with this stuff before and was always able to "catch" the edge with a razor and peel off the coating. With this latest piece I've been trying for almost an hour and can't get it off,its driving me crazy. There has to be a better way,what am I doing wrong?Thanks for any help.

Maybe it's not there at all...

I've got the same issue with some from Midwest. One sheet peeled fine, the other...

sand it off ? or try to prick up the edge with a pointy scribe or similar tool an 1/8 of an inch in from the edge so you wont gouge the side. woodster

Another vote for sanding it off....220 grit ought to do it.

If you sand it you will take off the texture. I find it best to peel it before shaping. I have.had luck with a Sharp blade in a corner followed by pliers.
