Hi, >> Please guide me that how do I remove 'Mask' (green coating) from >> certain tracks to increase current.

If the track is open, you can solder a wire to it, or flow a thick solder path on it, to significantly increase the flowable current and increase the surface/mass to better heat dissipation. It's a good solution, when no space for a wider track, nor board type with thicker copper layer. In Eagle I can simply make a track (graphic line) on Mask_x layer, over the track I want to make open. As I can see, in Kicad I can draw graphic line on Mask_x layer, too, but I can't change its width! Right click on the line, and the "Edit Drawing" does nothing. Perhaps is it a bug? (v.20080715RC) I should also know the solution, because I also need it sometimes.
