What, if anything can be used to remove the dried glue of the protective paper covering on the lexan(?) that was shipped with my kit in 1990? I've tried a product from ACS called UNMASK with no success. I've even tried silicon lubricant and no success. Is there anything that can be used without causing damage? I may just have to replace it. If I do, what exactly do I need to replace it with. I certainly think I'll go with a little thicker material. What I have now is 60 thousands. I'm thinking maybe at least 80 thousands. Some one mentioned a product called PetG from K-Mac Plastics ? ? ? Thanks guys.

Andy- I would try soap and hot water first. Keep it wet fora period of time ? >> Throw in hot tub overnight ? <<

Or just buy a new sheet. If the backing it hard to get off it is likely you might mark it up trying to get it all off. It is not very expensive.

Hi Andy,

Seems I remember someone suggesting a heat gun on a low setting to soften the glue. If you use the flat sheet of Lexan for the wind screen, you'll want to relieve some of the stress at the bend with a heat gun anyway.

I went with the LP windshield. It adds a little weight but it's a nice option. It fit great and it's thicker than the Lexan.

Anybody try WD40??? It penetrates cold, won't damage plastic and you can
use it to clean the glass at the same time.

I had some old plexiglass pieces my father had since the mid sixties... WD40
did the trick on removing the paper.
