Not sure who said it - but boy they were right.
I can personally testify that 16 year old plastic film adhesion is just as strong as welding![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

I decide to remove some of the (clear) plastic from the top skins yesterday. One side came off in less than 40 seconds ..... the other took 7 hours.
After numerous different strategies, the best I could come up with is heating until it goes clear & gooey, scrape with blunt steel and then almost immediately scotchbrite with a pad soaked in cellulose thinners.
What a HORRIBLE job !!!. I don't suppose there's an "easy" way ?
What makes it stick like that ...Time, UV, Damp ?. Whatever it is, I sure intend to avoid it once I know why !
