Excess nail l hole putty

We just bought a 2017 Coachmen Catalina at the end of last season. Can't wait to use it! We've been getting it ready and noticed a lot of excess putty on the nail holes in the textured interior walls. Any tips on what I can use to get rid if the excess without damaging the walls?

My Coachman Chaparral had some extra too. I just used a paper towel and my finger to rub it off.

Thanks! That's simple enough. I'll give it a try!

Slightly dampening the paper towel works real well too. Not wet, just damp.
Most of that filler putty is water soluble.

We just took receipt of a 2020 Salem Hemisphere Travel Trailer 273RL. Seems that excessive nail hole putty is still and issue.

I also have "Spackle" covering surface defects on my interior walls.
The good news is the factory provided owners with pre-damaged walls so you won't feel as bad when you put a hole in one.
