Use a pointy object made of mild steel, brass, ect. Won't hurt a thing.

Charlie,

Share the frustration, as do we all probably. I worry when I am
trying
to peel the sealing goop off router bits, do I slice my finger, or do I
damage the edge by using a knife/pointy object, or do I throw it against
the
wall and hope the stuff falls off...

Course if I buy better router bits CMT say, they are not immersed in
the
semi solid plastic rubbish.. :-) good excuse for SWMBO.
