3M 468 adhesive removal *success*

Hi guys, I had a very thin sheet of PEI on my glass bed, and I was able to remove the adhesive. I first peeled off the PEI (some people said to put it in the freezer first; I didn't need to do that). There was a lot of adhesive left on the bed that was still very sticky.
I put the bed onto my glass patio table and poured a layer of turpentine onto it, then used a wide putty knife to scrape it off. I had to make about 5 repeats of this. Pour a layer on, scrape it off as goop, then pour another layer on again.
If I were to do it again, it would probably take me about 10 minutes now that I know what I am doing.
I hope that helps someone. Now I have a much thicker sheet of PEI on there this time. I'll let you know how that goes.

Goo-Off and a razor blade. Only took 2 passes.

Good tip! I tried this orange oil adhesive remover stuff and it didn't do much. Hopefully there won't be a next time, but next time ill try Goo-Off!

You need to pour it on, let it soak and then run the razor across it.
