I hope you know, it's possible for Coraline to permanently etch the glass....I would get it off the viewing sides post haste !!

I personally use an old credit card to scrape it off in order to prevent having a razor scratch the glass. That could also be because I have no dexterity, but the plastic ensures it doesn't happen.

Grab yourself a Tunze Care Magnet with a metal blade.
