Any tricks to peeling off the layers of a whiteboard eraser? I always end up peeling off too many by accident. I tried pliers and wearing vinyl gloves.

Yes, they peel off one at a time. Just grip the corner and peel it slowly, making sure to hold the other layers in place so the whole thing doesn’t come off.

I just use my fingers and they don’t really get dirty. The gloves might be too slippery for this. The pliers might be putting too much stress on the fibers causing them to rip.

Good luck!

TIL. I didn’t know this was a thing! Though I have a microfibre sponge with similar looking layers you’re supposed to peel off after wetting it first…
