Default getting adhesive off Lexan

Tried the heat gun-didn't work and warped the Lexan. The adhesive is a hard
solid after all these years.
If "owner of Spectre Products (who has been working Lexan for many years)"
had a piece of THIS Lexan he'd be looking for another option also.
I've been using chemicals, in one form or another, all my life and haven't
burnt anything down yet.

Plenty of options to try BEFORE I actually need to use this stuff again.
Never had any dynamite and I'm all out of C-4 so that option's a no-go.



Acetone instantly ruins the finish.

As will many of the 'tips' folks have suggested you 'try'.

This topic was covered a few months ago and the owner of Spectre Products
(who has been working Lexan for many years) posted "the best way to remove
the paper is with a heat gun".

So if you want to get the job done, use a heat gun. If you want to
experiment (and ruin the finish, make a mess, or start a fire) then use
chemicals.
