Subject: [LML] Re: Canopy Crud

Going back through the archives I found several entries relating to how best
to remove tape adhesive residue along the paint line of the canopy frame. In
this instance, the adhesive residue is from 3M Scotch Blue painter tape. If
you look on the inside of the tape roll, it actually says in very fine print
to remove the tape within 14 days. Of course, no-one in their right mind
bothers to read the fine print so my tape stayed in place for about 2 years
while I went about other construction activities. So fast forward to this
week and I have some dry and crusty adhesive residue to deal with.

Hot soapy water and isopropyl alcohol had no effect. Acetone and Windex as
well a lot of other stuff will damage the plexiglass surface....which brings
me to the question...what is the material used for our canopy glass and
windows? Is it plexiglass, Lexan, polycarbonate, etc.? Do these words all
describe the same material that came with our kits way back when? Does
anybody know with certainty what works and what doesn't?

Some suggest using kerosene, WD40, lighter fluid, who knows for sure? Amonia
and water? Citrus based cleaners?

Any help would be appreciated.
