So I just tried the hot iron, paper and spoon method. Not too happy about the results...

Maybe the iron was too cold? Guys who tried this method, for how long do you keep the iron on the paper? Should the paper stick to the glue?

One can also use a hair dryer to heat up the WBG layer and then gently scrape it off. The key is to be patient.

TBH, after watching Timo Boll's bat preparation video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DODDExcIsEE) I keep wondering if there is any point whatsoever in removing WBG from the rubber before regluing ...
Seriously, start using Nittaku Finezip instead. It's sooo elastic. Much easier to get of. Most of the times there's almost no glue left on the blade, when the rubber is removed. Especially if it's presealed. That Also means that it's easier to remove from the sponge, because the layer is thicker. I actually removed glue from a rubber in one go once by keeping my fingers under the glue and pulling in different directions without breaking the glue. Quite satisfying.

Yes, that's what I was also worried about. Well, so I damaged the sponge with the spoon instead of the heat

Just bought some revolution no. 3 glue after watching their video on removing it from the sponge - looks amazing. I think Nittaku Finezip was mentioned in this thread as one of the glue types which are hard to remove? Quote: "Most of the ESN glues are really easy to deal with when it comes to rubber removal. Donic, Xiom, Andro etc.
Butterfly and Nittaku glues will most of the time create a too strong bond".

P.S. My Tear Mender order from amazon is still on its way, I'm curious if that method would work. Still have one sheet of Rakza (this time 7, not Z) with remains of Free Chack glue deadly stuck on it.

I tried even on H3N Blue Sponge. Nothing has happened yet. Just put iron enough to soften the glue, not to melt the glue completely
I remember the time I removed glue perfectly from T05 without any sponge rip by heating the glue often.

Unless there's a problem with the initial gluing, there's little benefit removing the old layer. The glue layer will harden after a few months, but usually it's also time for a new sheet anyway.
Nevertheless, there's evidence that a fresh layer of Finezip increases bounce and that a thick Butterfly Free Chack glue layer decreases bounce.
Still, repeatedly removing the rubber, especially with porous sponge, could cause the gas to permeate through the cell walls or even burst the cells, leading to further shrinkage in addition to wear and tear.

Ok makes sense. At least it will soften the glue.

Sharara: Banned speedgluing to keep you innocent mortals from harming the rubbers.
Mortals: Turns to ironing the glue layer to keep ourselves from destroying the rubbers.

The voc-free Butterfly glue I recently got on a pre-assembled racket was very difficult to remove. Not very elastic. So hard to pull off. Nittaku Finezip is much easier. But still difficult. Takes some time. There might be glues out there that are much easier of course

OK, so here's removal of the revolution 3 glue and it's a pleasure!
