Removing 7 mil combination safety/solar film



Custom Search



uncle bob
Got to remove the above from approx 100 panes, 8ft x 4ft, done 2 on Saturday and it was a pig, tinted layer seperated from the safety and the safety was s**t to remove, any tips guys.

Is it better to try and get both layers and start at the top allowing for more pressure when pulling down?

I think I read on here that someone sliced the film with thier knife in approx 8inch strips and that helped removal.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

the best way ive removed security is to cut 2 TO 3 inche strips like a maze going from on side to the other, this is the best technique ive found. cut from one side to the other but note all the way to the edge and on the next line start 3 inches off the all the way to the edge..."like a giant maze running from one side to the next" IMPORTANT CHANGE BLADES OFTEN

Thanks for the prompt reply Jeff.

Do you mean cut from the edge at one side and stop 3 inches from the opposite edge, come down a couple of inches and go back along and continue doing it that way.

Or 3 inch strips from edge to edge.

Thanks again
