Title: Removing Yellowed tape
Post by: ljwayne5451 on March 22, 2022, 08:20:28 AM

Good morning, Does anyone have a good way of removing old yellowed scotch tape from the back of a belly glass without damaging it?

Thanks
Ljwayne

Does it show through to the front? How old is the glass?
Maybe post a photo of the front part of the glass.
I've had this happen but just left the tape on. It wasn't worth the risk.
If I had a broken glass I'd that I could experiment on, I'd maybe try WD-40 but, for some of that older glass, I'd be afraid the paint would just crumble off.

Hi and thanks for the reply, It does show through and that's why I was hoping to remove it. It is on the belly glass of a Bally 6000. See around the Super Jackpot insert

thanks

ljwayne5451,

 Does your glass have the clear lamination on the back to protect the silk screening?

I have had some luck with foaming glass cleaner, the kind that does not contain Ammonia.
Soak the tape and remove a piece of tape with some tweezers before doing a full on peel of the tape.

No there is now lamination on the back. I will experiment on a glass I have that is not usable

thanks
