That'd work fine, just hold it close & expect it'll take some time.

Like the plastic razorblade post, never heard of those before. Closest Menard's is an hour away, going to see if I can order those through ACE where I work, maybe benefit my customers.

Even a round object can be worked with a flat blade; one need only cut along tangents to remove narrow strips. What's left in between become much less resistant to removal. It's the compound curved things – like insides of windshields – that present problems when using tools of any kinds.
