Hi all
we have pretty old windows facing west so get lots sun , just bought the house and those windows have very very old tint on , most of it flaked off or someone tried to remove it already .
but the windows are basically covered with old Glue or adhesive which is now gone very very hard not tacky or soft at all .
does anyone know best way to remove this old adhesive .
we tried already mineral turps , window cleaner, soapy water, diggers glue remover , and scraping ?
nothing seems to do much so far my partner has spent 2-3 hours on one window and looks good but not finished yet . Mainly genial scraping with several tools .
does anyone know best. Chemical to use ? Meths , ammonia, spirit, etc etc ? Or best way to do this ..
thanks Mark
