[Shop-talk] removing OLD duct tape adhesive from a windscreen

[Paul Parkanzky]

Hi Tim,

They sell pinstripe removal wheels with special non-abrasive flap wheels. I'd probably try one of those for the bulk of it.

Then, I have SnapOn Nyroc scraping blades:

They were given to a group of my friends by a guy  in the pits next to us at a LeMons race years ago.

I have used them for hundreds of things over the years. They really shine at removing anything sticking up from a smooth surface. For instance, dried sap or overspray on automotive paint. But I also use them for sticker residue all the time.

They would be perfect for getting the residue at the edges (they'd work great for the whole windscreen, but you'd be at it for awhile).

Good Luck,

-Paul

On the one derelict that I am currnently salvaging, the PO completely coated the inside and outside of the windscreen in grey duct tape (would anyone have any idea why becasue I am frellling baffled by this one!). I removed the tape (well, the outer plasticy layer anyway) but all the adhesive stayed on the windscreen as a hard layer of fuckmehardintheasscusyouarescrewedandwillnevergetthisshitoff dreck.
