OOPS! Got contact cement on the windshield

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.

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.

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!

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.

I will try some citris cleaner on contact cement and then try it on
plexiglass if the "tedious fingernail method" doesn't work.

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.
