have you rubbed with a sponge?
Even most of the plastic-like surface papers that seems to have a
transparent glue layer sticking to the board were easy to remove by
rubbing. But not all would work though.
I found that the "glue" layer papers seem better at the highest
resolutions where the "clay" layer papers seem to produce more jagged
edges (i believe due to unevenness of the surface).
There's clearly something wrong, soaking it for two days is way out of
normal. I only leave it in a few minutes.
