Finish the job with some carb spray or a little lacquer thinner.

Used to travel a lot; I save old hotel room keys to use as scrapers for this kind of purpose. Stiff enough, flexible enough, and a square & sharp edge that won't score softer surfaces. And you can cut them to fit hard-to-reach locations. Also work well as putty knives and disposable mixing boards for epoxies, etc.
