do this first

boil the kettle
then pour it on holding a rag just below

and peel it off bit by bit
it does work and is les likely to damage the paint

Dont be tempted to just rag em off because you leave loads of the sticky foam shit! If your lucky you might get it off in 1 peice doing it Adam-D's way...
