Cleaning Glass on MSP 3140

[XG Print]

Well got rid of one of our nut jobs in the screen room and hired a new guy.  Wondering what we can use on the glass of our MSP 3140 to get it back to great condition.  It has a lot of dried up emulsion and ink from the last guy who was messy as hell.  Pisses me off to go in the screen room and see this but I guess it is my fault for letting it get out of hand.  Same idiot as wondering why he was getting so many pin holes a few months back.  What do you use?

This might sound nuts but if your trying to clean off dry emulsion just spray some emulsion remover right on the glass and let it sit for a minute and wipe off or use a razor knife, same with ink use screen opener, then come back with some glass cleaner good as new.

get one of those razor holder scraper things and go to town.  That's how I keep my glass clean.  Windex to finish it off.

What Mimosa said. Use the razor at a steep angle and you shouldn't ever scratch the glass.

Good chance you have a lot of crap on the underside of the blanket if thats the case use something black to cover around the screen before clamping down to prevent gunking up the glass again.

I've heard that products like Windex may have some UV blocking/inhibiting properties (you know, to keep those pretty drapes from fading) I don't know if it's true, but I always used something like a Sprayway Glass Cleaner. Like I said, I heard it, never researched, proved, or disproved it.

A note on razor blades. They do require a certain care and/or finesse as they are perfectly capable of scratching the glass.
For hunks of emulsion, a plastic ink knife/paint scraper can be a help with no danger of scratching.

the windex evaporates away.  Havent seen any issues here...

I don't think there's anything wrong with Windex or like products, but the aerosol glass cleaners certainly seem to get my glass quicker with less scrubbing. 

As far as scratches go, I think a combination of tape adhesive, dirt/grit, and irresponsibly sliding frames on the glass are responsible for most of them here, at least.

For real stubborn dirt we use spot cleaning fluid once in a while

We just use water for our plastisol emulsion stuck on glass and roller frames.
