How do I remove the backing from foam board insulation?

Hi Everyone,

I have some 4 X 8 sheets of 1" foam insulation that I'd like to use as a roadbed for a model train layout. The problem is that this is the type of foam board that has a metallic backing sheet glued to it. I'd like to remove this backing so I don't have to worry about shorts on the table.

Tearing and scraping don't work every well. Is there some sort solvent I can use to remove the backing without dissolving the foam in the process?

Thanks to all for taking the time to read this. Have a good day!

Try using hair dryer at hottest setting on metal backing side...and gently peel off backing.

Hopefully that should work.
