Hi !

I'm restoring my DW backglass, and the previous owners made "miracles" with the translite.

There were 4 types of adhesive putting together the glass, the translite and the broken trims : masking tape, crystal tape, a large reinforced black tape and another reinforced tape that leaves crossed fabric in place when taken off.

So now, my translite and glass have been separated carefully, no harm done, but there is still mixed glues from the adhesives on every translite border. And I've read not to use solvents on a translite back.

What are your tips and tricks to clean that up ?

PS : I don't have access to the same products than in the US so if you could describe the type of product rather than giving the product name, that would be great !
