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 |
