The method I use, is put the PCB with the glossy paper
in a borosil container and heat the water.

After 5 minutes, with the water almost boiling, por in
some liquid detergent/soap.

About 5 minutes later, some of the paper should just
peel off ! Remove the remaining paper by gently
brusing with a soft brush.

I have often been able to directly peel off the glossy
paper off the boards after heating with an iron for
10mins, without damaging any tracks. But this does not
give consistent results.

This method I just described, takes just 10 - 20
minutes, depending on board size.

Can you try using plain tracing paper ? Altough I did
not try myself, I have heard that it peels off better
in soapy water.
