I planted the last of my original Blue Picotee seeds. One of the seeds had a stuck seed coat. Since these were my last 3 seeds I got in a panic as nothing would budge it without severely harming the cotyledons. So in a last ditch effort I injected water in various places between the coat and cotyledons with a needle & syringe through out the day and this evening it softened up enough to ease it off.

Here is a link to a supersize version, 3.4 megs.
