Hello Sir Paul,
I have also tried many different chemicals, to get that last layer off
the board...to no avail.
I finally found out that 'boiling water' does it. I keep the board in
the boilding water, with a pair of needle-nose pliers, then I use that
green scouring pad, and scrub it off, while keeping that board good
and hot. Works well for me, my friend.
...your friend, Patrick
