Lisa,
I had a similar problem with a group of Polaroid 55p/n negatives-- I
basically had just pulled the positives and thrown the rest of the film
packs down, then decided (a day or two later) to try to work with the
negatives. The paper backing was stuck to the negatives, of course,
similar to your problem. I soaked the lot of them in a dilute solution
of Photo-Flow and was able to slide the paper off the negatives (which
by this time had shrunk, warped and burned to the point that I got some
very interesting print results.) Failing all else, you might give 'em a
Photo-Flow bath.
Hope this helps!
Regards to all,
John
