Can I soak this Supplement?

The top is glued to the styrofoam back. Whats the best way to detach it? Can I soak it like a T206? Thanks!

I don't think you want to soak that. Maybe a sponge with water and dab the area to loosen the glue. I don't know if I would submerge it though. Hope this helps

First, that looks like Cloroplast, not styrofoam.

Cloroplast is relatively new, it's corogated plastic.

I think that supplement will soak. If you dampen it partially, as suggested above, you're likely to end up with a watermark line demarcating where it was damp and where it remained dry. For that reason 'all or nothing' might be better. BUT, before you soak that, you might moisten a QTip with water, then rub a bit of the Cloroplast where the glue is, to see if it is water soluble. If it isn't, then soaking won't accomplish much, and you'll need a non-polar solvent. In the good old days carbon tet might have worked...

That team depicted is the one that played in what is now Wrigley Field, back when it was first built.

I think instead of soaking it you should just sell it to me. :)

Mark beat me to that one.

But, to answer your question, I would try covering it with a towel and ironing it, this has worked for me with similar situations in the past.

I think what Doug suggested would be a good start. Think thick cloth, not thick terrycloth towel...

Mark & Doug, ya'll must've missed it in HA cuz I thought for sure I'd have some competition on it! I'll put one of you on my WILL for it ... but u'll have to wait till I die to see who gets it :)

Thanks for all of the suggestions, I'll let you know how I make out!

Thanks Frank, that is what I'm leaning toward right now. Hope it doesn't melt the plastic underneath haha. I'll go gentle on it ...
