One word- Cold. After the bulb has cooled off to room temp , place it carefully in a plastic bag then into the freezer. The coefficent thermal between glass and plastic are different, and you can usally scrape (very carefully) with the edge of a new single edge razor blade to lift up the edge of the plastic. As you work on the bulb, it will start to condense due the different temps of the glass and the surrounding air. This makes it even easier to remove. Also the same way you remove melted crayons or plastic from a regular light bulb (yes my kids did that when they were little, little shits). Just be careful, and don't cut your self. Good luck!

here is a good tutorial about how to clean that mess up and save the bulb. pretty much as macguver 4.2.0 described but easier to understand.

Not really - vertical grow, fucking crazy to walk through now that the plants are big. If you don't get in there and pull the dead leaves they'll mold and spread to the buds right at the end.
The shorts had an inner and outer layer, and the second they hit they melted and stuck to the bulb.
Thankfully my buddy keeps extra bulbs - even offered to replace my shorts
Seems like this shit will flake off, might try alcohol.
