Plexiglass protective paper
Yeah I had a bad morning.....
Our underage teenage neighbors boinking in our yard at night makes for great breakfast conversations with her parents. Thank God I don't have to deal with the fallout............ On to the plastic ...... Take a heat gun and warm the plastic locally to about 150ish. This will remelt the glue holding the paper to the plastic and leave you with squeaky clean plastic to work with. The glue used is a low temp thermoset not a solvent based glue so liquids really just get in the way and get sucked into the sheet to crreate problems later. Acrylic doesn't get imprintable until 225 with pressure and won't move until around 250 if forced so you won't have any problems peeling it off. Don't worry about this temp inducing any residual stresses in the plastic, I've done this a bunch when I'm working with some old crappy paper sheeted material and it always comes off perfectly when reheated a bit.......... Hope that sounded a bit better...... Scott. wrote in message news:JEkuf.2799$z45.2262@trnddc02... "pbc76049" wrote in message ... Why haven't any of you guys read the DIRECTIONS on how to remove the old stuff. Pop it in the oven, warm it to about 160F and it comes off slick as snot. Forget solvents, water or any of that other crap, just check the manufacturers recommendations. Oh Yeah, I mold Acrylic for a living. Gee Scott, have a bad morning? As I recall, the original poster does not have the instructions from the manufacture (the paper is old, faded, and dried on), let alone an oven that large.

Much better, no doubt, and thanks for the info. I never had even considered heat. I just hope this tidbit stays in my forgetful brain, until (not if, but when) I need to remove some of that hateful old paper again. -- Jim in NC
