Foreign Substance Removal
• Butyl Cellosolve (For removal of paints, marking pens, lipstick, etc.)
• The use of masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tool s work well for lifting off
old weathered paints.
• To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene, naphtha, or petroleum spirits is
generally effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair
dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NEVER BE
USED.
Job Site Precautions
It is recommended the clock be removed from the wall and stored face up in its protective
shipment bag during painting and construction.
New construction and renovations frequently require that the job site be cleaned of any
excess mortar, paint, sealant, primers or other construction compounds. Only
recommended cleaners should be used to clean the polycarbonate lens. Contact with
harsh solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or muriatic acid can result in surface
degradation and possible crazing of the polycarbonate.
When the clock is first installed, glazing compound and masking tape adhesive can be
easily removed from the lens by applying naphtha (VM&P) or kerosene with a soft cloth,
followed immediately with a thorough soap and water cleaning. DO NOT USE
GASOLINE.
