I just went through an old box i found around my studio and i found a few good glass bottles (paasche vl ab bottles) with some dried up createx paint inside them. A few i was able to scrape them out with a plastic knife. But i have a few that seem to be stuck.

I can just soak the bottles, caps off, over night in a bucket with windex. But does any one else had this happen and found a faster way of removing the dried up paint?

Use some denatured alcohol and let it sit for a couple of hours.

Windex will not work if the paint has sat for years, you can also use acetone.
 
Ultrasonic cleaner, the cheapest go for 20$ and they work for everything
 
Createx airbrush restorer work great for this too. Like the denatured alcohol, let it soak for a few hours.

Restorer may soften the paint but sometimes does not always work on old dry paint..(even soaking it for a few days) That is why I suggested the denatured alcohol or acetone.
 
Denatured alcohol worked great. I was able to save every singe bottle. I worked them outside of the house. that stuff was very strong.
