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

[Tim .]

Actually, the 3M stuff didn't do anything. It evaporated before any softening occurred.


IMHO it was a waste of almost $20.00

They took if off the shelves in California a few years ago so you know it's good.  Seriously, works better than any other goo remover I've ever used and I've never seen it damage paint.

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
