from the edge of the drip edge. Stainless. Any tricks? I tried a small piece by prying it open on the underside just a bit and it worked (small section).

Is there a better way?

I just put some tape on a bottle opener (the round end style) to protect from scratching the trim. I jsut start on one end and slowly start prying it off. Lift alittle at a time and it wont get bent out of shape.

I use CARS method but also slip a thin paint paddle between the trim and the bottle opener to spread the load a little bit.

OK, so the comb kind with the pointy end and the round end?

Hyper, I was wondering about that, thanks.

Yes. Some of the "free" ones you get from your favorite brewery seem to work good too, even if they are plastic. You just may go through a few of them if they crack. But they are "free".
