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

Oh, you poor sole! BTDT !!!

The only thing I have had any luck with, is getting a beer or three, putting
some music on, and getting ready to have lots of patience. If you have more
money than time, get a new piece.

Some very hot water and a big squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent may
help to loosen the bonds a little, but expect no miracles.

I have never tried cigarette lighter fluid on plexi. Does it mess with the
finish? That is always my solution to weaken old glue. Also "goof off"
glue remover may help, but I have never tried it on plexi. It is in the
painting section at hardware stores.
