A cold beer in the fridge that you aren't going to allow yourself until you've finished: because after all the miserable scraping you are going to need it badly...

Used any thinners I could get my hands on and more elbow grease than I care to remember. It's 'orrible.

Worn out sand paper on a rotary sander can help. It can melt the sticky stuff and roll it into a ball along the line of your sanding. Care is needed to avoid damage though.
