How to remove masking paint?

I made the rookie mistake of applying my masking paint too thinly and am finding it very challenging to peel or pick it off the glass.  I'd be very grateful for any recommendation on how to remove the remaining masking paint without potentially damaging the glass.  Thanks!

Re: Removing masking paint

Hello @ksweatman 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about masking paint.

 

I suggest using either Stanley Glass Scraper or Trojan Safety Scraper With 5 Blades. My best advice is to keep your wrist straight and avoid digging the corner of the scrapper on the glass. Keep your hand light and go over stubborn areas twice to lift the masking paint off.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
