    Freeze spray method:

    (As noted below, don't pull the Mylar off so aggressively as the video above)

    Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

    Personally, in that first video is an accident waiting to happen. You don't ever want to be aggressively pulling on the Mylar. Do this, and there's a good chance of pulling artwork off inserts.
    I take a brand new metal razor blade, the kind you scrape windows with, and lift a small corner of the Mylar. Hold it at a real sharp angle. It's a piece of cake. Now grab that corner with tweezers and spray the portion of Mylar in front of it. Don't get cheap. Spray the shit out of it. As you're spraying, very lightly pull on the Mylar. If you use enough spray, it will literally come right up. If you feel any resistance at all, use more spray.
    Again, do NOT pull hard on the Mylar and don't ask me how I know this!!

    100% agreed. I just did a quick YT search to provide some examples, but you're right, definitely don't get in a hurry!
