 See If you can gently chip it off with toothpicks or sharpened wooden matches, not steel tools. You could soak a piece of tissue and lay it on the glue a few hours to soften it first.That's how I'd start. Dan

If it's water-based acrylic paint, such as Pollyscale, the water will have no effect on the paint dried paint.  If it's water-based craft paint, water may remove the paint.
