Removing glue and tape from uPVC window frames
A previous occupant stuck some large white plastic hooks to the uPVC
window frames with what looks like a load of double sided tape and some old yellow brown adhesive. Possibly evostick or similar. It is very old and hard. Any ideas on how to remove it? I have cellulose thinners in the garage but suspect they would damage the uPVC. (I think my angle grinder would do the same!) TIA for any advice. |

Will try out the WD40 when I throw off this food poisoning or virus or whatever. |
