Sorry I caught this so late.

I am a certified auto glass installer who owns his own glass shop. I only use sikaflex urethane and primer. Just wipe it clean with a glass cleaner, then re-apply your primer. No need to sand it off. It'll do it's duty perfectly.

Hope this helps!

Don't think that you would want to use glass cleaner on your acrylic....

Glass cleaner won't hurt the acrylic at all. If it did, then just about EVERY acrylic canopy in the United States military fleet would be ruined. When we don't use glass cleaner we use a rubbing alcohol/water mix. You can try that as well. The important part is DON'T sand it.

You'll be fine man. Wipe clean, re-prime and you'll be set.
