Default Plexiglass protective paper

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.



Rubbing alcohol is methanol. Big difference from ethanol. That said,
I
have no idea if methanol will harm plexi.
++++++++++++++++++++++

Also "denatured" alcohol at the local hardware store can be denatured
with just about anything of which the BATF approves - like acetone,
toluene, and other solvents. Makes for some costly surprises if you
don't test first..........

Use Mineral spirits. Make up a little tray out of an old picture frame
fill with mineral spirits. Place plexi in there and cover with another
piece of polyethethelene to reduce evaporation. Should soften enough to
peel the paper off.
If that doesn't work blast it with a pressure washer
