   How about Goof-Off?

   *John,Goof Off is fantastic stuff, I would try it on an inconspicuous spot first. It contains Xylene which is not only extremely flammable, but could "eat" plexiglass. I checked on the can I have and see that use on plexiglass is not listed nor is there any warning against use on plexiglass. It is readily available and is usually located in the adhesive section. I would also recommend that you get the small can and not the aerosol. I have found that the aerosol runs out of propellent with about half a can left and it is harder to "control". FWIW.Dano

   *John, Meguairs (the auto products company) makes a plastic cleaner (I believe its #7) and a polish (#10) that I use to clean the plastic window of my convertible and it works great. Polishes out minor scratches too. I think the bottle even says it can be used on plexiglass and Lexan???Mike

   *Thanks for the tip Mike. I made and installed a custom transom for a client and before I know it thea woman went and had paint slapped all over the thing. I got very scared when I saw this because I had to eat the cost of the shaper bit to begin with. I am up for a big ent. center design and fabrication for her great room so I got real concerned about not being able to get the paint off without ruining the plexiglass (chosen for safety - her son is handicapped). I told her not to touch the paint - I could just imagine her grabbing a razor knife and hacking away. I've seen a plastic polish from Behlen but I don't think it has solvent characteristics. thanks again....John

   *If it's latex paint, and still relatively fresh, it will probably pop off with yer fingernail......Eric

   Plexy glass

   Acetone was successful in removing the paint off the ply glass on an old bullux watch display. The top was paint black and all I had to do was soak an old t- shirt with aceton, leave it on for a few minutes, use a scrapper to kinda press the cloth down and lift off, wipe any remaining off the aceton/paper towel or shirt cloth.  There is a lil residue left but I think I can get it off w/goo gone and a lil sanding w/ fine steel wool.  I plan on reprinting it with different wording on it so if it is a lil stained I'm not worried about it.  But it did come pretty clean considering it was black paint.  Hope this helps you other risk takers out there.
