I painted an interior door and some varnish has got on to the glass panes contained within the door. I have tried to remove the varnish with white spirit but to no avail. I would be grateful if anyone can provide some assistance

When dry, use a blade, (scrapper) this will remove the paint from the glass

carefully use a razor blade. I know this works with paint anyway. Varnish may be too thin, but try it anyway. The blade should just scratch it off.

Gently scrape with a razor blade toward the glass frame, this will not scratch if the blade is flat against the glass

stanley knife blade, easier than removing a razor blade, hold it at an angle and scrape the dried varnish away and it wont scratch the glass

The best and quickest way is with a razor blade. Just make sure you get the angle right. Good Luck

One sided razor blade and some windex or water as a lubricant to prevent scratching the glass.

there is paint remover. Or you could just get a little bit of finger nail polish remover and take it off. Or scrap it with a blade or something like that

Buy a razor blade and holder at a hardware store. Ask the clerk they will point them out. It will have to be scrapped off.

If it's just a little bit of paint, let the paint dry and scratch it off with your thumbnails. A razorblade works, too, but it runs the risk of scratching the window. A fingernail won't scratch the window.
