melted bag on glass

[bill-e]

Hi folks,

My wife had an accident with a bag of pellets and melted some of the bag on the glass of my XXV.

We got much of it off but there is still some I'd like to take off.

If this was regular glass I'd just use a razor blade but since it's the mirrored glass, I thought I'd seek help.


Can I safely use a razor blade on the exterior of the glass or is that the side with the mirror coating?

Thanks.

I would shut down the stove, wait for it to cool, and then use a cloth and glass cleaner rather than a razor blade.

Let the stove cool off, apply some Goo-Gone and it will look fine.

Thanks, I had already tried both suggestions and it wouldn't come off.

Try some fine steel wool, I use 0000 to clean my glass from the ash stains it may work on that too.

I am not sure about the mirrored finish glass on your stove but when I did this to my glass stove top in the kitchen I did use a razor blade to remove it and had no issues

I'd also try the razor blade. Use a brand new one and be VERY careful not to dig a corner in.

I might even try it while it's hot, but watch out you don't smear it further. Maybe try 2 blades and "shovel" the goo into a pile.

I'd be hesitant to use 0000 steel wool on the mirrored side.

Yup. I've done this a couple of times. It scrapes off easily with a razor blade on MY STOVE when the stove is COLD. YMMV.

Ditto. Did it last week. Works better when you have the blade in a scraper handle (couple of bucks at hardware store). No idea about mirror glass though.

I would try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser BEFORE I would try anything that might scratch the glass.

I'm surprised the Goo-Gone didn't work. It's always worked for me.

Maybe try the razor blade when the stove is hot to get the bulk of it off, then cool down and try the Goo-Gone.

I don't think I'd be brave enough to try the steel wool.

I was afraid to take a razor to my face to shave when I came of age too. It doesn't make any sense if you think about it, but we do it all the time and think nothing of it. This is one of those same things.... I have used 00 or 000 steel wool and razor blades on vehicle windshields for years. When I rebuilt my stove I used razor blades and steel wool on the Pyro Ceramic glass which has a pink hue to it, nothing happened, except the cleaning of it. Just use the tools as if it were your own face, and it'll be fine.

+1 for razor blades though..

I did this, and used the edge of an (expired) credit card when the glass was hot, followed by a paper towel.
