Title: Problem Glass
Post by: Steve_c on March 15, 2010, 09:59:18 pm

I have a new job on tomorrow the customer has had 3 new window panes replaced, but there is some sort of baked on white residue on the glass,if you scrape it with your finger nail it slowly comes of. What i was going to try is white spirit first if that doesn't work what about methylated spirits?? any ideas? Thanks

If it is silicone, try using distilled meths, it works a treat.
