I tried several methods including using a Dremel tool with 3M radial discs and nothing worked better than a sharpened piece of 1/8" plexiglass. I cut pieces about 8" long and 1 inch wide at the handle end and about 3/8 inch wide at the scraping end then I sharpened it with a grinder. I kept a piece of 220 grit sandpaper nearby and used that to re-sharpen when needed. It goes surprisingly quick. After trying to get it ALL off I found I didn't need to be so picky as leaving a little didn't show after applying the new clear sealer.
