Removing weights does not work flawlessly

Question

I want to remove weights by painting 0% weight.

However, I'm having a hard time doing this.

Here is a video that shows how I desperately try to paint an area black. I have to try it again and again until finally something happens:

These are my brush settings:

Thank you.

@moonboots That is what I want, but it does not really work. In the video you see how I desperately go over the blue areas again and again, and they still stay blue. — tmighty, Commented Jun 13, 2020 at 20:26

$\begingroup$ mmh Ok, I thought Mix with a Weight of 0 equaled Subtract with a Weight of 1, so maybe to always make sure you're deleting, switch to Subtract $\endgroup$
