The best tool I found was a draughtsmans plastic scale rule, very thin
and tapering to the edges, but not sharp edges, and rounded corners.
After spraying, soaking in/ partially drying and finding ereas where I
could get the ruler admitted. Then slight waggling of the leading edge
of the rule separated the pages quite well, especially when I'd cleaved
an initial run down the long edge of a book. Or sometimes the binding
edge became more free and could push the rule thru, the length of the
page and then waggling. Initially separating small blocks of pages ,
then going individually
