How to Remove the Paper Backing from the Fabric Samples
There are some easy ways to remove that paper and glue. The key is to melt the glue that is adhering the paper to the fabric.I have found two methods that work quite well.
Run a hot iron over the paper backing to melt the glue. You may need to leave the iron on each section of paper for up to 10-20 seconds depending on the glue strength.
If you just want to remove the paper backing from one or two fabric samples at a time you can run the sample under a hot water tap in the sink to melt the glue, then peel the paper backing off.
If you want to remove the paper backing from a number of fabric swatches, you can place them all in a hot water bath and let them soak for a bit. It doesn’t take long 10 minutes is usually enough.
