I installed the (then) popular dark window vinyl to the inside top of my canopy 20 years ago. You simply cut it to shape, misted water on the plexi, and squeegee'd the film into place. It was soft and pliable - even formed somewhat to the compound curves of the canopy. To remove, simply peel it off.......not 20 years later, tho!
Today I decided to remove and replace it with a nicer, newer color tone. Bad idea. The stuff is hard as a rock and comes off in match-head size pieces. Cant stop now, tho! The canopy is off, and upside down on blankets on my workbench. At this rate, I will be back in the air by 2021! But then my transponder will be out of date! HELP !!
Anyone know of a solvent or something to help this along without destroying the plexiglass?
