Mackayman Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Haven't had to do it befor, but at a guess, I'd say a light coat of paint stripper and a one sided razor. Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathobes Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeah I just did a 4ft with a razor blade. All I can say is do the edges last and work your way out so you dont blunt the blade which will scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
