I've had good luck on small jobs using my hot air gun.


I used my hot air gun to remove the bubbled cloth. Works good, just start at
a corner or edge and free a small chunk then grab with pliers and keep the
hot air moving in front of where you are working.

Worth an experiment or two.



Yeah, sure is, but I am constrained to building outside. (The garage has my
wife's kiln and wheel and must stay under cover.) But, here in the desert the
temperature is falling day by day so will sand current surface (glass and one
coat of epoxy) and change to regular catalyst from the high temp stuff I was
using in the summer. I have built outside before, but not here in the desert
where the temperature makes really big swings in the summers. (95 or so
days, then 60 in the evenings. It looks funny seeing people start for a day's
outing in 99 degree weather, but taking a jacket along.)
