[Jewelry making - Article 00971] - [Orchid] Removing adhesive from thin copper sheet

Hello all-

    I have searched the archives and have not found an answer to my
    dilemma. I was given some wonderful thin copper sheet (strips,
    really) to use in what ever way I fancied. It was removed from the
    walls of what was an MRI room therefore has some type of funky
    adhesive on the back side. I have tried using my torch to burn it
    off (outside is better for that it sure flamed up!) but it seems to
    just harden into a darker, harder adhesive. Pickle did not do much
    either. 

    Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how to go about trying to
    remove this. Other chemicals I could try on it?Unfortunately I do
    not know the formula of glue that was used to originally put it up.
    I am itching to get to work on playing with some of it. 

Thank you
Heidi Peters
