[RE-wrenches] Razors & Removing paint from solar modules

[Dana Orzel]

If your use a razor only use a fresh razor blades. The moment you feel burrs stop & replace the razor as the burrs will scratch the glass. Also keep the surface always wet with a soapy solution [surfactant] to keep the surface slick & this extends the short life of a razors edge.

Use a razor handle to hold the blade & keep a first aid kit available. Soapy water & razor blades have interesting incidents.  I owned a window tint shop 40 years ago & definitely had my share of razor cuts.

Just a razor blade. I doubt you can take if off chemically.

Hi Wrenches,

 

We had some painters try to paint a house in 35 mph winds and (of course) the overspray got onto some recently installed solar modules.  They were using a latex water-based exterior paint.  Are there any mild solvents you might recommend to help clean this up?  Or just elbow grease?

 

Thanks!
