Removal of stickers…or something

[chorky]

I know for general stickers just grab a razor blade. But the canopy came with this stuff on it. It catches on my finger nail so I dont think it is laser etched jnto the glass. I suppose it could be but not sure how to figure that out. Laser etched stuff usually is more of a divot. This feels like it stands on top of the glass. But its not a sticker. I briefly attempted a razor blade but didnt want to scratch the glass. Whatever it is is on super good. I want it off. Looks terrible Imo.

any suggestions??

Goo gone

Goo gone only works on the residual adhesive once you get the stickers or vinyl off.

My first try would be a heat gun. After you get them heated up, you should be able to get a corner to lift up and peel them off one-by-one that way. If your fingernail catches it now, then with a heat gun you should be able to use your fingernail to remove it. It just needs heat to get softened up. Then you can go at the leftover adhesive with goo gone.

See if some acetone wipes it clear.

might try this



it reminds me of what they put on windows in old school buildings to name the person in that office. It feels pretty darn tough.

It's probably vinyl. It's pretty tough until you heat it up.

heat gun.

I prefer a hair dryer to a heat gun. A hair dryer won't accidentally melt anything.

Hair dryer + finger nail

I agree. I always start with that. Heat gum only if it doesn’t work, but carefully.

Hairdryer to warm it up and it should peel off easily.

 

[chorky]

ok. I'll have to find someone with a hair dryer or something to give that a try. it feels etched, and is on the inside of the glass. but it's not a divot like laser etched.

nothing. I think its etched into the glass…. I tried some wd40 alont with a razor blade. To no avail. Didnt even take off a corner. So either its a crazy tough sticker or etched. Which is lame.
