Knackered.... 300sq meters done, 550 more to go!

Been stripping some Solar Gold film off 850 sq meters of office space this week... Absoloute night mare... Smells horride, and comes off like fiberglass, creating the biggest dust problem ever.... Film has been on for the last 20+years, and has crazied beyond belife. Needless to say there is no easy way of removing it other than elbow grease.....

Im just over half way through on the removal process....... and just want to get it all off now....


Then.....

Refit with some Solar Safety Film.....


Taken some pictures and a lil video of how bad this stuff is at removing and will put them on here when i get back to base and get my data lead...

Onwards and upwards!!!

I feel you pain. Hang in there.

Hanging in there... Steamer in one hand, scraper in the other, and blisters on each finger.... And lungs full of small gold filings of film from yester year..

Funny - just today I looked at installation we did 17 years ago - Solar Bronze 175....Look urgly as it was on the roof which stand outsde

this stuff is like snake skin... film colour is still quite true, just the adhesion faliure has let it down... But pics will reveal all....

what like this

....i took these just to remember how fookin sh*t this job was....

Thats just like it Potzy....

did it leave like fibreglass shavings everywhere when you pulled it...??

I hope you are using at least a dust mask to keep the flakes out of your lungs.

What He said ^ .........

No dust masks... lol

These jobs are a nightmare - buy plenty of scraper blades and don't spare em. I hope you priced it up up up

Good to see your getting bit better Stu

...It did mate, had about 100sq meters to do but paid very well

It was like haveing glitter every where so we just kept spraying it
with a light mist of water to try and keep it down abit. Lucky for
us the block was empty so we didnt have to worry about the mess
we made...how about you ( i feel your pain )

Yeah same, like, gold speckles of glitter everywhere..... Glue dust is horrid....

Block is been worked in daily, so like you said, keep it wet to keep the dust down.... ;-) Cant wait for it to be done.....
