[78-L] Unplayable laminated pressings

[Thatcher Graham]

Cardboard like paper is made from wood pulp, while binders may be water 
soluble, cellulose is not. You'd need something more like Sodium 
Hydroxide to really dissolve it and maybe even some mechanical action. 
Anything strong enough to really destroy the cardboard could possibly 
eat the laminate.

I think it's safer to attempt to make a copy.  I was actually thinking 
the other day that adequate suction to temporarily straighten warped 
discs.
