I like to be very careful and just use a razor to cut the very end of the wrap then I unwrap the thread. this peels everything off nicely with no chance of hitting the blank. After unwrapping , there will be some epoxy still attached to the blank. this is primarily epoxy that soaked through the thread. I scrap this suff then sand it lightly. If the new guide is going on in the same place , you can just get the spot smooth. If the location will change , you have to clean all the old epoxy off the old spot and repaint if you can't get it perfectly clean with solvents. i don't use heat but a little carefully applied can help. Don't over heat anything..
