As above, customer has left the film on the Perspex for over 5 yrs,  massive area ! The film has gone brittle / opaque and is firmly stuck and only comes off in small pieces.

Would soda blasting damage perspex ?

Its one of these unusual jobs,  we need to carry out tests to determine best Methods if there is a solution, I will try steam , various chems including AM (If it works can I have a huge discount as we may need a few hundred litres  ), personally I dont think there is a solution - bottom line as norm - will cost to rectify outway replacement of units.

THks for confirm ref Soda assumed any type of blasting was a no go.

Then reason you need heat is to soften the adhesive and to make the film stretch rather than tear - same as removing graphics from a vechicle. Kevin, how would the product get to the adhesive throught the film ? The other option may be to try a doughnut

The film has deteriorated way past stretching or tearing, should of taken a pic ! it has litterally fractured on the surface into tiny slithers (1-3 mm) and hardened on to the perspex, this may allow the chem to get at the adhesive

Because the film has split the Aqua Mix Sealing & Coating Remover is extremely viscous therefore it sits on the surface and works through slowly with the dwell time!  However4, a test would be required.
