Going back through the archives I found several entries relating to how =
best to remove tape adhesive residue along the paint line of the canopy =
frame. In this instance, the adhesive residue is from 3M Scotch Blue =
painter tape. If you look on the inside of the tape roll, it actually =
says in very fine print to remove the tape within 14 days. Of course, =
no-one in their right mind bothers to read the fine print so my tape =
stayed in place for about 2 years while I went about other construction =
activities. So fast forward to this week and I have some dry and crusty =
adhesive residue to deal with.

as well a lot of other stuff will damage the plexiglass surface....which =

glass and windows? Is it plexiglass, Lexan, polycarbonate, etc.? Do =
these words all describe the same material that came with our kits way =

Amonia and water? Citrus based cleaners?

Any help would be appreciated.
