Technical Glass experts please chime in

I bought a full glass set for my 57 chevy, the windshield is the last to be installed, I inspected the windshield when it arrived a few years back , but not closely enough,

there is some kind of epoxy still on it, can a glass shop remove this and polish it out?

 

Looks like its delaminating. May have happened in storage

 

I agree, unfortunately it cannot be repaired.
Do you still have the receipt from the company you purchased it from? give them a call and send them some photos, That should never happen to new glass. HRP

 

I have the receipt, but I would like to install it today, it is definately a resin or epoxy on the inside and outside very thin about .020, super hard material.

 

I’m no expert, but what would it hurt to try and chip it off? Try a razor blade.

 

Worth a try with a razor blade, still might need to be polished?

 

I'd use a razor then #0000 grade steel wool, shouldn't have to polish.

 

Thanks everyone!!

 

You can't "feel" delaminated glass. It is on the inside, between the layers. If you feel it, it is on the outside. Like they said above, razor blade and you may try softening it with some paint reducer.

 

Or warm it a bit with a heat gun, A small bit.

 

If you can mostly scrape the glass clean but still feel the need for some polishing, this video looks like a pretty good tutorial. If you've not done this before you might want to practice on some of your old glass first.

Maybe @Lloyd's paint & glass has some suggestions.

 

Yeah if you can feel it on the glass, just spray it with window cleaner and use a new single edge razor blade. If there's residue left you can hand rub it with buffing compound, but it should come off with a blade. A used blade will scratch the hell out of the glass, and doing it dry will scratch it also

 

Razor blade worked, thanks everyone!! It was some sort of epoxy....
