Brilliant tip! I have happen to have a Karcher steam cleaner (the best)! Even if you cut in with a brush, you still have to scrape and clean the panes to complete the job. Now, thanks to your incredible ingenuity, I don’t have to cut in at all. Thank you VERY MUCH.
The much better way is to just use a 6 inch joint knife as a paint guard as you paint. Very little cleanup to do afterwards, and can be accomplished with just a utility razor blade.
Omg lmao, if the paint base is latex you don't need steam, just get a single edge blade and remove the paint with it, you still need to cut around the edge prior to removing paint. Using a 5 in 1 tool is a big no no, you can scratch the glass which you don't want. Good luck
But it's a lot harder when the latex paint is dried on the glass--especially if it's been drying a few days. Takes a lot more scraping. You can also scratch the glass when you're scraping hard with a razor blade.
Usually when you paint wood you don't use flat paint, is usually a paint with some kind of sheen, and those paints don't adhere to glass unless you sand the glass first.

Jorge duarte This isn't flat paint--it's eggshell. It still sticks to glass, at least in the climate where I live.
Weird I live in fl and been painting for 13 years and never had that happened but thats just me I guess
Jorge duarte I'll bet the humidity down there helps the paint not to stick.
