    Hi,

    I received a replacement heating element for my printer, but ripping off the old one, all the glue is stock to the glass.

    Anyone know what to use to remove it?

    Thanks,
    Jes

    Hi. Use acetone. Let it soak on there and it should come off much easier...powered off and disconnected from the printer.

    Will give it a go - time to head to the hardware store tomorrow.

    Thanks!

    Your welcome, grab a razor blade with a handle as well...be warned the black paint on the bed is painted on the bottom where the heater is...most likely will come off
