Title: removing glue from laminated glass ?
Post by: SPE on November 19, 2011, 01:15:11 pm
Hi all,
got a shop to clean thats re-opening
Its been heavily fly postered whilst empty and the windows are a right mess.
Tried a small area with a scraper until I realised it was laminated,
Is there a better way of cleaning this sticky muck off ? a solvent maybe ?
Any suggestions / advice appreciated and recommendations of products I'd be able to buy locally ( b&q or screwfix) as its an urgent job and needs finishing monday.
Many thanks
Simon

nightmare that mate!!

make sure you charge that lttile bit even more for that!!

some say wd40 works ok.

i guess any solvent remover from screw fix or bnq will do the job with a good scrub with the mop.

I`m a bit confused with the term "laminated glass" as i thought the laminate layer was inside the outer layers of glass. From reading the thread then it appears there is something on the outer face of the glass so does anyone know what this actually is,some form of coating obviously but which type and why?
