Hi

Notes:-

this sponge layer is very sticky to the blade because i was having the same bat before and tried to remove it. the bat was completely damage becase it tried to remove it very hard.

Hi Ahmed,

I use a solvent like Mineral turpentine or you can use rubbing alcohol to soften the sponge on the blade. 

If it is really stubborn you can use sandpaper / gritpaper but be gentle to make sure you don't damage the wood.

I heard heating the glue up with hair dryer might work.

Remove the rubber from the sponge and use the pimpled side like a sandpaper,this always works best for me,i completely sanded a premade blade and no harm done,good luck
