Hi
I am doing OK here. Have only completed one but it is nice.

I have a horrendous problem with the next one though. It is a rear bedroom crank out with three crankout panels and two side panes. The panels seem to have been glued in or set in with silicone sealer. Some has dried and some has not. I have spent hours trying to get it off of the glass to get it clean to add the film. It coats my hands, the cloth,the towel it sits on and it gets all over the glass even where it was not before. I scraped with a blade. I used Alcohol, Vinegar,soap,and acetone and I have cleaned every surface at least ten times with separate paper towels. I fear that I may never get them clean enough to cover with film. Any suggestions anyone please?
