What's the best Freeze spray to use to remove Mylar? and glue afterwards.. thanks
The freeze spray, which I bought at walmart, will only get up the mylar. The glue afterwards you'll need to goo-gone and let it sit. Then scrape up with a plastic razor blade or scrub with a magic eraser.
There are other techniques if you search around on here..
Any canned air turned upside down, much cheaper than "freeze spray" and the Orange Power Cleaner "909" for the glue, gets it off in seconds instead of hours.

I generally get 3-packs of compressed air from WalMart for around 5 dollars. Then use any citrus cleaner for the glue. Just to note, if it's factory mylar, like around pops and slings, it should pop right up. However, if it's full pf mylar or some other large area that was probably applied to the pf after it left the factory, you may not be as lucky with it coming up so easily. BE CAREFUL AROUND INSERTS~!
As mentioned by others, compressed air can used upside down.
As Blackbeard mentioned this method leaves all of the adhesive behind. You will be spending a lot of time removing it.
I've done lots of mylar removal and I actually prefer a hair dryer. You need to be patient though. The hair dryer needs to get the glue warmed up.
With either method go SLOW otherwise you will pull up insert art.
