I have never soaked. When you soak a card does the paper just peel off the back?

you should wait a bit and figure out how to do it first - maybe one of the soaking experts will give you a step by step way to do it. Also you should use the search button in the forum here, and search, "soak" im sure you will get a lot of good info on how to do it. GL

use hot ( not boiling) distilled water to soak the cards in. if the glue or adhesive is natural , the paper backing should loosen at least partially from the cards. I use a soft paint brush sometimes to brush away paper scraps. I have also added several drops of DIF to soaking water to help loosen paste or thick paper.
if the adhesive is a rubber cement or early synthetic glue the water soaking may not work that well. the only way to find out is to experiment

There was a recent thread about soaking that talks about which cards, how long, etc. You should be able to easily find it by using the search function. I agree with others that you should research it before you make your first attempt.
