How do you remove Gallery Glass Clear by Plaid from a glass shower door?
- Asked by sam on 27-Jan-14
Answer
This product, once cured, is a cling-on and should remove easily by lifting up an edge and peeling off gently. If it is stuck, it can be slightly warmed with a hair dryer. Allow the surface to cool and then peel off. Avoid overheating which can cause the window cling to stretch.

What is the drying process?
- Asked by Rita on 31-May-13
Answer
Let your finished Gallery Glass project dry, away from drafts, breezes and dust, for at least 8 hours. Projects will be cured completely in 72 hours. Do not attempt to speed up the drying process—placing a fan in front of your work can cause cracks in the surface. Using a blow dryer can seal the top of the paint and actually trap the wet paint, preventing it from drying in the normal amount of time.
