I know this has been discussed... but I want to specifically ask about P-1R topsheet/sponge separation.

I have tried an iron with no luck. I am worried I’m going to ruin it.

Any ideas?

In the past, I was able to easily separate the top sheet when the rubber got old. But with my current newer sheets, no such luck.

What about boiling? I don’t want to ruin it.

I am dying to put together Ma Te’s combo.

They're usually very well glued together. I'm afraid I've not tried to seperate this one... luckily this rubber is available in OX, but I'm not sure of that's the same because for some rubbers the OX sheet is made thicker or is reinforced.

I thought he was using Palio CK531, no? You can just buy the rubber w/ a sponge from ttnpp... They had different versions of it last time I checked.
