Here's what I did when I first started unmounting them. It worked really well:
1) Used a big fluffy brush to dust baby powder over the sticky
2) Took a sanding block and sanded them off. The baby powder made it so the sticky stuff didn't gunk up the sanding block.
It worked really well, but it's a lot of work for not really much payoff. After about 4 sets, I said "The heck with this noise" and just started chucking the blocks in the garbage, unless they were a size that I knew I had an immediate use for. I had quite a few sets that I never mounted on the wood and I kept all those blocks for future projects, so i already had a pretty good collection of blocks.
