Goof Off is not
necessarily safe for plastics, though Goof Off II is. Nonetheless, as my
accompanying post states, save the experimenting and get Goo Off (that is not
misspelled, it is GOO OFF) at Wally World or other fine retailers that stock
Chinese Knockoffs.

I used something called goof
off to get it off my primed fuselage. I don't
know if it's safe on
windows.

[Thanks, Colyn, Goof-Off is already on my
list. I did manage to clean about 1 square foot in about an hour using
carb cleaner... it softened the dried on glue nicely, but evaporated too quickly
to moisten the dried on masking paper shards. (This stuff has been on this
airplane going on 2 years!) BTW, I did test it in an out of the way corner
and found that it had no deleterious effect on the window... what a
relief. Carb cleaner contains acetone, toluene, MEK and propane.... since
there are no chlorinated solvents, though, the plexi appears to be impervious to
it. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised and relieved. Anyway, I'll
probably follow another of the suggestions and use something like naphtha,
jet-a, or kerosene on a damp rag held against the window under some plastic to
keep it moist. Hopefully one of those liquids will not only soften the
paper but the glue as well. What a nightmare.
