The package clearly states "Tear the protection film from two sides of the splint.”I ruined 2 sheets trying to get this imaginary protection film off. I mean I tore these 2 sheets to shreds to make sure I wasn’t missing it. Nothing came off. I have also lost a bit more of my sanity, there’s not much of it left after dealing with these. Someone tell me how to get these sheets off or if yours had protection sheets or not.
