If it's a big tank, I'd get a handle for those. Trust me, I just did my 180 and my fingers are still sore :)

I use a caulk removal ($5-10 from RONA, HomeDepot, Home Hardware etc.)tool for the bulk of the work and save the razors for the detailing...

I tried one of those, didn't have much luck. Maybe bigger tanks have thicker seals?
