Switched from a putty knife to a stiff plastic scraper for cleaning my paint tray...
I used to fight with dried latex paint using a metal putty knife and it always gouged the tray. Then I grabbed a 3 dollar plastic scraper from the hardware aisle and it peels the paint right off in sheets without scratching anything. Has anyone else made this swap or found something better?

The freezing trick works surprisingly well. I threw a messy tray in the garage during a cold snap last winter and the paint literally popped off in one big sheet the next morning. No scraping needed at all. That plastic scraper you mentioned sounds like a good backup though for any leftover bits. Have you tried the freezer method yet?
