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

[Tim .]

Thanks for the replies all. The 3M stuff didn't touch it. $20 waste of money.


The winner was covering the surface in rags and soaking them with kerosene for a half  hour or so. I then sprayed MarineClean on small areas at a time, scrubbed with rag and paper towel and the crap slowly came off. Two hours later I am about 98% done.

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
