Title: monolithic wired glass
Post by: tonycarr on March 15, 2017, 05:25:27 pm

hi all...been to view a job cleaning  Monolithic Wired Glass, in the roof of a building, there`s some overspray of paint (not sure what type of paint) on the glass,  if the glass is flat i wont be a problem i`ll just scrape it (no problemo), but if its textured then i need to go pre-armed with a method of cleaning.

cant get a close up of the glass until the day of the job when i`ll be using a skyjack

what would you recommend if its textured? ......a decent paint thinner i imagine?......  what about wire wool?  if wire wool what grade?

000 grade wire wool and as many solvents you can find. cellulose thinners or acetone or screwfix sell disolveit contractors solvent.

Time consuming removing paint from this type of glass price accordingly.

Thanks. ...job done

Ended up using a medium course wire wool and used a wire brush round the edges. Lot of elbow grease, if I had to do this type of job again I'd incorporate a power tool.

Priced very well
