After it is dry, remove one of the backing boards by inserting the blunt edge of a knife and running it all around the edge of one of the boards to remove it.

You may find that one or two of the top sheets get trashed doing this, but that's okay. Just peel off the damaged sheets, the rest of the pad should be fine.

You may find a few places where you didn't cover the edges with the compound well enough. You can reclamp the pad and touch up that area and/or apply a second coat of compound if that happens. Though, the thicker the coat of padding compound, the harder it will be to remove the finished painting when you're done. A thin even coat is best.
