Re: how to hide glue visible on glass

Hi @Samara1,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

All I can think of is to use a window film to obscure the glue a bit. Something with a pattern like this Pillar 0.9 x 2m Static Leaves Window Film might look nice.

 

Allow me to tag @Dave-1, @Noyade and @TedBear to see if they have any ideas.

 

Let me know what you think.

 

Jacob

Re: How to hide glue visible on glass?

Hi @Samara1 , I can't see where the glue is from the photo. Are you sure that it is not a clear sealant, given that most glues won't stick to glass very well. 

If it is sealant around the edges you may able to cut through the excess with a sharp plastic blade (a metal blade could mark the glass permanently). Then use a plastic scraper to scrape off the excess up to where you cut through it. You could use a metal blade if you're careful. You may find that once a bit of excess is lifted you can then peel the rest off.

(But this suggestion is offered without actually being able to see the problem clearly, so it may not apply to your situation.)
