Default remove ceiling "popcorn" from sandblasted glass?

Bob?, let off will you? The stuff is a water soluble goop with
ground up corn cobs to make little lumps. When it gets wet, it
falls off. There is no paint, there is no need for paint remover,
paint remover is way way overkill unless there was a paint
problem, paint remover doesn't do a good job of softening or
removing latex enamels anyway. Forget the paint remover.

We have an exterior entry door with several leaded glass
panels -
the
leaded glass is sandblasted - the glass panels picked up
some
overspray
when we were having the entryway area remodeled - we'll
be
re-painting
the
wood sections of the door, but before we do that, what's
the best
way
to
remove the "popcorn" material from the glass sections?
The leaded
glass
won't take a lot of scraping or pressure. THANKS!

Paint remover very carefully applied.


reply:


DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT. Idiot. It's water based. Water
dissolves it.
There is no way to "carefully" apply paint remover.

Where does the OP say the overspray was water-based?? I have
applied
paint remover using a paint brush to do almost exactly what
the OP
proposes to do.


reply: I don't believe I have ever seen "popcorn" that wasn't
water based
drywall mud paste with styrofoam additives. I could be wrong,
though. I
was once before, too.

Well, that doesn't make me an idiot or a doofus!

Yes it does....If the OP listened to your stupid advice he would
be
re-painting trim as well.....Popcorn is made with joint compound
, texture
spray mix , water and white flat wall paint...ALL water
washable....- Hide quoted text -

I guess I'm confused. Why would the OP HAVE to repaint the trim
if he
appplied the paint remover only to the glass? I said in the
original
response to apply the paint remover carefully. The OP also said
that
they were going to repaint anyway. Read the original post if you
don't believe me.
