Default Pretend you know an idiot...

I've made that mistake, before, in a tight spot, hard to conveniently get to. Rather than a card/cabinet scraper, I used the sharp slightly curved edge of my Buckknife, but any sharp slightly curved stout bladed knife will do. I've done somewhat delicate paint scrapings with this technique and have scraped sprayed lacquer runs/bad drips in tight/small places, also. It's a modified card/cabinet scraping technique.... modified for small, tight places.

The curved edge allows for site/spot specific scraping.
