remove ceiling "popcorn" from sandblasted glass?
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! |

I have done leaded glass work and would use paint remover in that situation. I would be very worried about using anything water- containing on the door if I was going to re-paint it as the water will get into the wood and cause problems, while the paint remover will soften the paint so it can easily be scraped off the 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. Once I read that actual *popcorn* was fastened to the ceiling. Maybe they varnished it :-/ |

You might just mention to them regarding top posting, and snipping. For some people, google is chosen for a variety of reasons, and that's another whole thread. I have a one strike and you're out policy. Some foul mouth or idiot will get killfiled after one post. For others who diverse into politics, or who rant, or who just don't know what they are talking about, it's a few times. But don't throw the baby out with the wash water. Steve |
