What have you tried so far?
HOT WATER?
HEATING THE MUG

Sounds odd but wd40 is quite good at removing things like this. I’m not a

Only ever used the shrink on bottles, I ran a line of tape under the wrap before heating, once cooled I pulled the tape and it splits the hardened shrink.

It does sound like the shrink wrap has bonded to the poly coating
