Removing ABS

I'm having serious difficulty removing thin layers of ABS from the print bed. Anything less than 2 layers is essentially impossible to pry up, and I end up having to dissolve it with acetone. Any suggestions for how to remove it without cleaning my bed with acetone after every print?

Paradoxically, I'm also struggling with the corners of my prints warping, but I'm pretty sure that's because I don't have an enclosure.

Re: Removing ABS

Most likely you squish the first layer too much on the bed. If you can provide a screen shot, we could help you more.
Important information will be the resolution you are printing as-well.
Usually you can remove everything with spatula up to 100 microns.
