Thanks. I think that I will try the fingernail method first. The glue is
down where the windshield meets the glareshield so it would be difficult to polish. Mike MU-2 "zatatime" wrote in message ...

Does anyone know if I can use "adhesive remover" on an acrylic windshield without causing crazing? Any other suggestions? Thanks! Mike MU-2 Can you keep the area very wet for a long period of time? I'm thinking covered with wet paper towels, and wait a while for the adhesive to soften up so you can use your finger to pick it off. If that won't work, I know either Sporty's or Spruce sells a "Windshield Compounding" kit. It comes with different "grit" sponges and 3 or 5 separate compounds. You'll probably have to do the whole windshield, but at least it should get the junk off it. HTH. z |

Thanks! I think that I will try picking it off before trying chemicals but
if that fails I will give you some stuff to try! Mike MU-2 "Roger Long" wrote in message ... I have the old windshield from our 172 in the back yard serving as a basement window shelter. If you would like me to try anything on it for a final check, email me directly. I'll even put some contact cement on it. -- Roger Long "Mike Rapoport" wrote in message hlink.net...

I will try some citris cleaner on contact cement and then try it on
plexiglass if the "tedious fingernail method" doesn't work. Mike MU-2 "Kyle Boatright" wrote in message ... The best product I've found for removing glue, paint, and other stuff from plexi is one of the citrus based cleaners. No solvents, and the stuff does a fairly good job attacking a surprising number of things. Personally, I wouldn't want to use any solvent near that expensive windscreen.
