Fiona must have the patience of a saint to be taking that off like that. Well done Fiona.

[@lizzieizzard]

Fantastic job Fiona - but you are a hard worker and put a smile on the face and get on with it - we are a dying breed

[@kathypaltan1428]

What a horrible job. Fiona, you have the patience of a saint!

[@rhondaloveloveloves9551]

Fiona you did an amazing job on those windows🌻You can do anything apparently. It's amazing how that window tint got baked on by the sun.

[@Sassie1]

Amazing dedication to that window cleaning task Fiona!

[@aliciaallegretti1470]

The boat is coming along beautifully. Fiona is doing a fantastic job!!! Hard work for both of you. Beautiful scenery!!!

[@avissmith8384]

What an awesome job, painstaking work. Skiing would be fun, I can see you two now 🤣 ❤

[@1verysteveperry]

What a beautiful view to wake up to each morning ❤

[@Marcia_Toms]

Incredible views of the Rock from your boat window x

[@fay791]

your doing a fantastic job on your boat Fiona ,it’s like an old cottage start one bit and it goes round in circles never stops 😂❤

[@SharonSeaver]

Good morning, ya'll . Spray some vinegar and water on it as you use the blade it will be easier.❤😊

[@alidabotes6264]

Baking soda in vinegar. Wipe or spray on, leave for 30 mins & then scrape off. Get the scraper with a wider blade. The one you are using is going to scratch the window.

[@fionahesketh]

I tried vinegar, oil, white spirit , you name it, everything, nothing worked except brute force ❤

[@fionahesketh]

​@@alidabotes6264it didn't scratch thankfully, it's reinforced glass❤

Fiona dose have patience of the saints.

[@elizaf.9040]

A fabric steamer might work. $20 in US. I used it to remove horribly stuck wallpaper.

[@fionahesketh]

Tried it, nope, only the blade❤

[@claregilbert2481]

Hi guys xx 😘 Fiona your doing an excellent job xx 😊

[@Lindasmusings]

A job like that fiona🤣my mind will go wild….too much thinking…🙏🌹🌹🌹

[@louonUT]

Fiona you need a wider blade.. at the hardware store you can get a KIT= plastic holder with razors . it looks like the razors in a shaver but could be sharper .. point is it is in a holder for good grip and will scrape of 1inch at a time quite easily.

[@laurat4977]

Yes. I've used 1" blades for removing paint and all kinds of stuff from glass surfaces. The smaller blades are good for working around curves and into crevices. It's still hard work.

[@louonUT]

@@laurat4977 Exactly .. But no doubt Fiona with her determination she won't take the time to go to the store - she is on a mission ! LOL I wish I had some of her determination. I have so much to do around here and so far I can't get past looking at the work.

[@maureen14]

If you use a blow dryer to heat it up really well, constantly, as you're peeling it off, it'll come off so much easier.

[@fionahesketh]

I tried that but unfortunately the sun has baked it on over the years and it pretty much fused with the glass ❤

[@julietteboser1202]

Snow mobiling is safer than skiing at our age but if you haven't ever skied, try it on the bunny slopes but with lessons first. I haven't skied in years but still remember the amazing feeling of flying down a hill on a beautiful sunny winter day.

[@lucywaugh196]

I see Busses 🚌 with that black stuff with holes in them but you can see out . That sounds like the perfect thing to get a hold of .

[@Jennifer-pp6oj]

Please be careful not to cut yourself, dear Fiona. You are making me nervous. I use a straight razor to clean my oven top, and I am always very cautious doing that, afraid of cuts as well. I bought a product for glass called "Goo Gone" that works really well, I don't know if you can get that there. God Bless you, Graham, and all your loved ones.

[@jhartrum8177]

Goo Gone works wonders.

[@lorrifrench4460]

You’re doing an Awesome job Fiona . ❤

[@debc7341]

Skiing is easier than snow boarding if you’re just starting out😅

[@edjopago1]

I feel Fiona's pain🍹🍹🍹That blade is ridiculously small. Don't they make wider blades🔪 than that? But after all her hard work, the windows will look amazing!!!🛥

[@purplevelvet69]

I used a hair dryer to warm it before scrapping it. Best wishes💐🙏🍷🍷🍷🍷

[@karleneboyd1724]

Fiona. Use a hair dryer, then use alcohol soaked rag , then lift edge with razor blade and it should peel off in big pieces. Or acetone.

[@l.d.1385]

What an excellent job your doing.What a woman you are. Love you both.❤❤

[@carmenbryan5174]

Good afternoon Fiona and Graham you got a job and a half their 🙈🙈🙈🙈but you don’t give up do you have fun( not )take care ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@charlottereitberger6253]

Graham is the supervisor ❤

[@justlooking1985]

Window tinting is probably what you need, so you can see out but not in. You can buy it here in rolls, happy to send you some. Great job as always Fiona ❤❤ PS Fiona if you use a hear gun or even a hairdryer to heat the plastic up a little, it will pull right off. You can do it in sections but the heat will lift it up and do the work for you. Hope this helps

[@michellebeckett8417]

Good evening Fiona what a fantastic job your doing 😗❤️

[@Adrieballard44]

Fiona, I don’t know if you saw my last message but my husband and I have a window tint shop if you use just a drop of the soap or baby shampoo and a bottle of water spray bottle and spray that on there it really does help with a bigger flat blade, the scrape off thatlayers of lamination

[@tmtb80]

1000% yes

[@fionahesketh]

Tried it and many other products even heat, nope nothing would shift it except brute force ❤

[@Adrieballard44]

@@fionahesketh that’s definitely true. It’s just that the soap and water with a little bigger blade helps the scraping go by a little easier and it also makes the glue gel up so it doesn’t flake everywhere too but yes, it is 100% elbow grease that gets it all off, I was just trying to give you something that might ease the process a little unfortunately when it starts to delaminate and come apart in layers you’re done when I have customers ask me how long does a removal take for a car I tell them it could take a half an hour or I could take five hours for buildings, it can take a couple days sorry

[@MissWeeLassie]

Have you tried spraying the glass with some WD40? It's something that seems to be pretty good at helping 'loosen' all manner of things. If you've a can of it lying about, might be worth a try to see if it 'softens' the stuff you're trying to remove.

[@stephenmagnus9379]

WD40 is a thin "Pentrating" Oil .... WD40 doesn't affect ... Acrylic, Polycarbonate, Polyethylene, Polyester & Vinyl ..... Also, you probably don't want it soaking in to the surrounding wood either ...

[@HALee-]

In US that material is known as ‘Mylar’. It’s also used for Helium balloons sold in stores. ❤

[@jrob7975]

We have snow tubes, where about 2-4 people jump in and then slide down. Reminds me of those large tubes used at waterparks, etc. Try that out before attempting to ski - much safer, plus you learn what you personally can and can not handle. Good Luck!

[@ladyjane8163]

Hello Graham & Fiona , Working hard as usual . 🥰

[@teresabelshaw4262]

Fiona a steamer will take the stuff of your windows❤❤

[@pamelalipscomb8332]

When I was young, we used to have a similar problem after taping the windows for hurricanes. If you waited too long to get it off, it had to be razor bladed off. We would get the two edged razor blades, tape well over one edge so it didn’t cut you and scrape it off. At least it gave a wider scraping surface than those skinny blades you are having to use.

[@christinewhitfeld7939]

Fiona be careful of backache!!!

[@tracyhaddon2773]

Mind your fingers Fiona doing a great job ❤

[@marileearsenault4749]

My hand is killing me already. Damn that’s Terrible job, but it must be done. You’ll deserve a. Nice gin n tonic after this …

[@DawnieLockyer]

I’m surprised Acetone or pain stripper wouldn’t take it off

[@carine4318]

Love your work lovely 🥰

[@TrevorCoult_MC]

First 😂

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

Well done that man.

[@bobhope9646]

[@JessDoby]

Would a hair dryer to the film make it easier to remove?

[@dianat119]

Fiona, I feel your pain as you scrape those window. We had a grant to build an extension for our disabled daughter. The builders installed two plain glass doors, they were horrible. So I went to B&Q and bought some lovely window film. It looked great. A few years later the edges looked a bit tatty so I decided the film had to go. There were lots of tips on how to do it on YT. None of them worked so like yourself I had to scrape it off. It took forever! The mess was horrible! Never again will I ever use window film! Voiles from now on! Love to you and Graham, enjoy the rest of your day. 👍🏼👍🏼❤❤

[@indigoharvest]

Perhaps you could try using a hair drier with the scraper.

[@shadow-boxer1644]

Fiona you need a blade used for ceramic hobs. On a long handle with about a 2inch blade which are really strong.

[@Sue650]

Fiona…PLEASE try a steamer ( clothes steamer works great! ) I’ve used it and it works so much better than scraping it dry!

[@carine4318]

Fiona .. surely you can get a wider blade 2 inches wide . I have one a scrapper thingy we have a Bunnings store here in Australia 🇦🇺 with I could send you a photo of it

[@maureenfitzpatrick440]

That crap is really stuck! Try spraying it tonight with a strong solution of water and either vinegar or ammonia and let it sit while you sleep. Scrape it off as you’re doing now. Your arms are getting a great workout…😅

[@Lynn-r8h]

Yes, you might test spot spraying a solution like others have suggested. I live in the American southwest where window tint is a must.

[@Grannylovescoffee]

It is looking good Fiona. Good job

[@Wildflowers516]

Looking good Fiona ! Have a good day you two 😊

[@TLouise1959]

Graham ... Buy Fiona a bigger razor!

[@tmtb80]

With a double edge blade.

[@bluebutterfly244]

I wish there was some kind of scraper or blade I could send you, Fiona that has a wider format. I wonder if adding oil/lubricant of some kind might make it "slide" off easier. It's like car window tint. Ugh. Edit to add: You're still doing a smashing job, though! It's hard work ❤

[@heathergriffin537]

That's hard scraping windows I have done it with a small knife in the past.

[@katrint4502]

🌟🌟🌟 4:48

[@samr4607]

One way tint Graham.. lots of options on Google including Amazon

[@truthforall1303]

Hey Fiona I just had a thought that rubbing alcohol isopropyl alcohol would help you get that stuff off Mandy

[@chriswatts1680]

Use nail varnish remover or a hair drier. That's how I remove stickers etc off my car

[@tmtb80]

Check out window treatments in Australia. They are pretty savy about the sun. The metal ones are exterior and fantastic. Where i live they are sadly mostly sold for commercial buildings, not residential.

[@saskiavanv-yt9vb]

[@debc7341]

Have your tried a heat gun on the window film or would that damage something?

[@kathleenkinchela7180]

Folks don't understand just how much maintenance there is when owning and living on a boat. One day at a time, Fiona! You're doing a great job!

[@bmyhrr]

If you do decide to go, do not get on the snowboard as it does take a bit of skill to control turns and to stop.

[@UnbornTurd]

It's nice to be in the company of normal! I loved it. Love to you both for being in my life through youtube. This tear came from my right and other one is forming on the left lol For real.

[@DawnTherese252]

Good afternoon Fiona and Graham your doing all great jobs have you tried using a hair dryer with your knife it's worth a go, Fiona xx

[@DCo923]

Have you tried heating it up and then using nail polish remover?

[@celestialskye1]

Just wondering can you use a putty knife it's bigger it seems to be Sharp. 🧐

[@juliehunter9284]

Sat drink,? will wave❤️

[@samr4607]

Might be a bit messier, but heating it with hairdryer might help?

[@ingridmitchell1742]

Maybe paint stripper would help, as it melts & softens the film making it easier to scrape off.

[@Okie_Lady_Bug]

The film on the windows is called window tint it comes in a variation of shades and is sold in rolls. It comes off a lot easier if you use the scraper that holds a straight edge razor but still very tedious to get off.

[@V.C.S69]

Just a thought, maybe nail varnish remover is worth a try to remove that film?

[@pamelacox4103]

Good morning fiona and graham

[@Adrieballard44]

I think the stuff you’re asking about is called dot Matrix vinyl

[@sandraclaxton8531]

Ellegely king Charles lll has purchased a $9.8 million apartment in Manhattan Billionaires Row, hope Henry get some rest and relaxation in Daddy's New York Apartment away from the pressures of the wifey and kids. Henry be sure to child proof it for when Archie and lilly visit.

[@Hellena_Handbasket]

You probably don't need it now, but just in case, in the future. The blade used to remove the warrant of fitness stickers off car windscreens? Do you use those over your way? Perfect for such things

[@jacquelinecrosby7053]

Meg's would kill for them leg's Fiona.

[@asseyez-vous6492]

The film is called something like ‘anti glare heat reflective’ I think. Bought some for the car last year. It something like that I think you’re talking about? Hope you find some ❤

[@michaelhallett4110]

Use a hairdryer on it? Vinyl wrap Graham. Cheap online. MX

[@TheCloverQueenDQ]

Fiona do they sell Actone (pure) used for nails 💅🏻 around you? It would melt the film making e-z work of pealing, no discoloring. Retired Manicurist tricks lol. 🇺🇸

[@MagicCityGirl]

Good grief! What a tedious job! Has it been basically one window per day? Is your arm and shoulder hurting yet?

[@Ladyjillybean]

I am losing my marbles I just spoke to my phone thinking you could hear me. Steam helps remove stubborn tint. Jxx

[@Elise2010able]

Good Morning , Good evening for me 😀 Gee, that stuff is really stuck on the glass isn't it. Do they not make some kind of formula that can help dissolve that stuff? or soften it enough to peel? I have no clue, just sharing what I thought while watching. 😀

[@tmtb80]

Mineral spirits. Something slippery helps.

[@margaretdavies5408]

Would nail varnish remover be of any help.

[@garychabot4069]

Did you try hair dryer

[@tracyhaddon2773]

Have you tried white vinegar

[@michellebishop8743]

Perseverance and determination above and beyond.

[@elizabethtaylor2916]

thought have you tried hairspray or deodorant on the windows, seriously my neighbour removed his film with this

[@gix2lee]

Can goo gone remove that?
