I've got some old Lexan that still has the protective paper on it and
last weekend used a piece for a science project with my daughter.
The project, a simple solar oven, would have taken us about 1.5 hours
to build, but when I broke out a piece of the Lexan, I had the worst
time getting the adhesive off that was holding the protective paper.
This took 3 hours, experimenting with soap, vinager, kroll oil, even
acetone (small scrape- ruined), and I finally gave up and used a
window scraper which ruined the surface. Worked ok for the oven, but
wouldn't want my ports or companionway boards to look like that!
I've had this stuff sitting around, waiting for a project, for more
than 10 years in Florida heat and humidity.
I'd like to be able to use the rest and need advice on getting the
paper/adhesive off.
Thanks, MMC

I just cut a piece a few days ago that was even older (16 years), peeled
off the paper. It didn't want to come off easily, paper kept wanting to
tear...when it did I stopped and started working from another area.
Took maybe 5 minutes for a piece about 1 sq.ft. I'm in Florida too.
