ADVICE ON REMOVING OLD TINT/ADHESIVES

Hey Tint Peoples!!! My first post on this site.....here's my question.

How do I remove the old adhesive from a sliding glass door?

I'm new to the biz and have a slider that I am using in my garage to do cuts when I work on cars, ( I'm a cheap F***er I know) It had tint on it which I stripped, but now I have the adhesive....which is still on there that I am trying to get off......any tricks of the trade anybody wants to share??

Any and all posts most appreciated!!

Thanks

Welcome to the board.

Soak it with soapy water and have at it with a 6 inch stainless razor blade like this one.

or you can use a hyde scraper, its a 4 inch, not as wide but it is longer and you can get more leverage out of it.

with the soapy water on it ofcourse

The 6 Inch and soapy water did the trick!.... I had both panes clean with in an hour and a half!!! Thanks for the advice!!!

how about using the side that wan't tinted

I thought about that, however, although new to the tint scene, I take pride in myself and my work.

If I were a customer and seen that crappy looking mess behind the glass, I'd be worried my vehicle would look the same.

thanks for your anyhow!

on the home page of this site there is alot of tips on how to get started in tinting, removing adhesive even a pre-rookie can do

One thing to consider:

when you start cutting film on the slider, it will eventually get scratched to hell.
