Anybody had any experience Peeling Protective Paper from
Plexiglass??---When it's old & dried out---everything I've used to try
to soften the old glue also softens the plexi & leaves it with an
orange-peel finish. I have several 12" sq pieces, the center will
finally come once you get out there, but the edges are no-luck.
Thanks in advance

Try either denatured alcohol or rubbing alcohol. They will soften the
adhesive and will not harm the plexiglass.
Do not use denatured alcohal to soak off paper from Plexiglas. I've had it
craze very badly from exposure to alchol. I had a Plexiglass cylinder that
some one filled with ethonal, and in a short time it fractured all over and
fell apart.
