It might spoil your colors, but I've found a good way to unstick gelatin
from glass is simply to soak the whole thing in water, then, as the water
seeps in around the edges and releases the outer parts, gently lift -- and
return to soak. This takes patience, and abilitiy to resist impulse to
pull further and rip the page, but it will work.
