Any recommendations for safely getting it off? Thanks in advance.

Yep, I did it with a jacket in week 3. I finally used the easy-off method from the site but I think that I clouded up the pipe using cardboard. Can't tell if the clouding came from another source.

Works well, doesn't scratch the chrome.
