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

[eric at megageek.com]

Tim,

Actually, this should be easy. 

First heat from a heat gun, and/or WD40 with a scraper blade. But you need to let that soak a little before going after it. Then, as you scrape away some of the reside, spray more WD-40 between the glass and the newly exposed back side of the reside. Keep working it.

Might take some time, but it should work. 

Keep telling yourself, it could be worst, he could have duct taped the leather seats and dash!

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








Earlier this year we added a handful of Roadsters to our stock. 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. 





I put GooGone on a spot about two hours ago and that spot is still hard. 



I am wondering if there is something that might work better for what is most likely 40+ year old duct tape adhesive? 



I obviously can't use any sort of aggressive mechanical removal since it is glass. 



Help! 
Thanks
