I have a piece of clear polycarbonate sheet that I am using as a window, it is new old stock and i am having trouble peeling the protection film off it as it has become brittle, it does lift with a finger nail but in such tiny little bits and is taking an age to get off. Obviously I don't want to scratch the clear anymore than absolutely necessary or melt a hole in it, other than picking at it what is going to get me moving with getting it off?

Had similar in the past, ended up using an air compressor with a small nozzle, guessing you could also try a pressure washer for the same effect. Jumped ship to reliability - Mitsubishi L200

I will not be trying out the jet wash inside but the hair dryer sounds plausible. Cheers. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.
