Watered silk endpapers

I would like to know if somebody can give me an advice how to take
off and repaste water silked end papers from book boards. This
typical 19th century endpaper is very sensitive to mechanical force
if it is humid from water or humidity. Because of its embossed
pattern it is equally sensitive to pressure while repasting to the
boards.
