My brother-in-law (who knows everything) stumped. Start at a corner of the blue, apply a bit of ammonia with a rag and then start peeling. It seems to just loosen the plastic from the steel so that it can be peeled away easier. Read this post, found some household ammonia, used it on the blue plastic on the doors to my new BBQ. Thanks for all the suggestions, I suspect a lot depends on how long it's been stuck on. Still have plastic on back side of the hood around small vent holes and don't plan on making myself nuts getting it off. I then used non-acetone nail polish to get the glue residue off (didn't have Acetone type). After about 40 minutes of soaking via ammonia covered paper towels, however, it was easier to scrape off. ! I didn't get the hoped for melt-away on my Vermont Castings barbecue. Keep reading and Alison MacKenzie's posting explains how she applied the ammonia. Thank you for the great time and money saving tip! Linda C Ī. The grill looks brand new, has been appropriately installed and just this weekend broken in! The ammonia melted the plastic, even in the crevices, and removed the adhesive residue. After trying everything from De-Solve-it to the blow dryer to remove it I Googled and ended up at your site. They had left the protective plastic on and displaying it in the Texas heat melted it to the steel. After Christmas THE grill was put on clearance. As the price was way more than I could budget, I caressed it fondly every visit and kept cooking away on my old Wal-Mart grill. I live in the Dallas area and found a great 5 burner Vermont grill I really coveted. My greatest appreciation to Bill D for his tip about household ammonia dissolving plastic film on stainless steel. Plastic film on Vermont Castings B-B-Q Grill I believe the protective plastic did not pull off cleanly because of the hot climate down here in Mexico. The ammonia worked like a charm! Now I can cook in the new oven. I bought a stainless-steel gas range, and have been unable to get the residue off with WD40, hair spray, etc. Thanks so much for keeping this information out on the web. Household ammonia removed the adhesive residue easily. I also made direct inquiry to the 3M company and they suggested if the adhesive resists organic solvents like toluene, MEK, xylene, etc., as well as citrus-based products, the adhesive may be acrylic-based and it might be attacked with household ammonia. Thanks to everyone for responding helpfully to my question about removing adhesive residue from stainless-steel sheet metal.
