Glue remover?
« on: October 30, 2007, 19:58:01 »
Advice please on how to get the glue of my Landys rear window now that I have removed the stupid black film that some wally stuck on. I"ve tried turps, white spirit, surgical spirit but it just won't budge.

Acetone (nail varnish remover) might work.

I tried everything to get it off my window.

What actually shifted it was a nylon scouring pad and Isopropyl alcohol.

If the glue is hardened like a resin then I'd say a sharp razor blade seeing as it's glass.
