I think you can use a blowdryer. Not sure though.

i really wouldnt recommend a razor unless it has been properly dulled and if you asking this question you wouldnt be able to properly dull one for scraping. if you have a drill the best thing is a "smart eraser" pad by Astro Pnematic. you can get it at any paint supply store and if you want i can get the part number for you to tell them what it is. that will work best. but what sucks is most likely you will still see where it was no matter what you do. if you dont have a drill just try to get under it with your finger nail and peel it up and the hair dryer is good to use at the same time, but dont be in a hurry. it will take a while
