    Soak him in warm water for about 20 mins and try to peel it off

    Best just letting it slither through a wet/ damp rough textured bath towel ( after the suggested soak ) tbh ..
    Peeling with fingers can be too harsh IMHO ..

    Caution - some don't like the idea of soaking but it's more acceptable over here in the uk .
