REMOVING CDA/CDF ADHESIVES

[Guest samo2000]

I HAVE A 100 SQ. FT. TO R/R WITH OLD CDA . ANY IDEAS ON THE BEST WAY TO TAKE THIS ADHESIVE SYSTEM OUT OF THE GLASS ?

[Guest vclimber]

Try dry scraping first, if it's not successful, then try pulling the film and soaking. Are you planning on re-applying film after you strip it?

yes- totally demetalized and this adhesive is really integrated into the glass and I need to pull it out. I've heard about using baking soda , however I have no experience. also does temperature affect this as it does with ps. any help?

If you are plenning on replacing the old film with a PS film use Cerium Oxide and a polishing brush mounted on a cordless drill. That will remove the remnants of the dry adhesive so you can install the new film.

Yeah that takes the adhesive off real good.

Have you ever tried installing PS film after you've strip CDF adheasive? I am very serious, it can be a nightmare. I figure about an extra 20 minutes per 4x5' pane, it usually takes less though.

I remember a couple years ago I did a R&R down the shore... the film had bubbled.... it was very old. I'm trying to remember.... I think it just flaked off as I was scraping.

I've done a number of R&R... back when I was working for a Vista dealer, so the new films were always CDF... Never had any problems that I can recall. But I'm not sure what the old film was - PS or CDF.

Did one a few months ago, but the new film was actually Huper.. can't remember what the old film was. It was at an old bank.

BUT IF YOU REAPPLY CDF/CDA DO YOU STILL HAVE TO PULL ALL THAT ADHESIVE OUT ?
