one of my jobs has had someone go mental with sealant and guess what it is all over glass. Normally a nice soap up n clean blade removes but not this time

what is best solvent you all use for cleaning it off.  Normally a decent glazier would clean as he goes but not this chap.

also what are folks using now for water marks / mineral deposits? Years back i had MDR but thought it was poor.

Magic sponge/eraser and talcum powder

A good combination Number 23, also a damp Magic eraser pad sprinkle some fine table salt onto it works well for removing sealant from glass.

In my experience, there is nothing that cleans sealant off glass without a lot of sweat. A scraper is the best bet and even then, it's a lot of work.

Once cured, even solvent cleaner doesn't get it off.

Forget any type of cleaner (sorry Tadgh), it won't touch it.

For water marks, try a patio cleaner but wear rubber gloves and rinse with plenty of water.

a magic spung will poop it with ease

And occasionally the old comment to the householder of "you either need to get the guy back who made the mess or I'll need to charge extra for my time" can help.

That would be my line or more likely you'll need to get the glazier back. I doubt I'd touch it.

What's wrong with using the solvent the fitters are supposed to use, you can buy it?

[Micky Barber]

I've never used it but Oil Flo is supposed to get anything off, been told it gets egg off so if that's true it'll get anything off? You'll need to charge the customer though it aint cheap.

Got a customer who had new hinges fitted to an opener fitter got all black finger marks over white frame from old rubbers then told woman it will come off with a bit of Fairy liquid I told her she should have given him some and walked off why should we clear up someone elses mess
