I'm making a large number of small prepreg parts. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions to facilitate the removal of the backing film from prepregs and glue films (I'm using XC110). I've been using freeze spray which works well but isnt particularly sustainable. I've also tried nicking an edge which works buy is quite slow. Any secret tips out there  to quickly/easily remove backer film?

always been using a scalpel blade for me, or a bit of freeze spray on the sticky tooling preg.
