Subject: Adhesive on stained glass
I've got what I think is "hot glue" on the exterior of stained glass windows. It's been there probably 10-15 years, exposed to the weather. On the south side of the building it has separated from the lead, leaving a line on the glass only. On the north side, it still covers both the lead and the glass. Some of the windows will be removed to a studio for restoration, where the lead will be replaced. Others will be left in place and need to be cleaned on site. Can anyone tell me how to remove the glue (a) in a studio environment from the glass only; and (b) on site (outside), from glass and lead came? Julie L.
