Bob,
That is an asome suggestion, a true breakthru in the TT process. I am
using Staples paper with GBC H200, soaking in cold water for an hour
and removal of paper was difficult and never complete. With your
suggestion I have no doubt I will be able to have better results.
Summarizing your observations:
1. Warm water (not hot, but warm). Some people claimed that hot water
does it- I never believed that although I never tried it)
2. Soap (dishwasher soap) - obvious now.
3. Pencil eraser. - That is is a true innovation!
Thanks for sharing, Mike
