The first thing I have to say about graffiti on glass is:
Don't Touch It!!
A type of acid called hydroflouric is the main ingredient for this type of damage-causing graffiti. Hydroflouric acid will cause severe burns to skin from even the smallest contact. It is a most potent acid. As soon as it is discovered call a professional to deal with this type of damage.
The first step to dealing with this dangerous substance is to neutralize the acid by donning protective gloves and washing away with water or baking soda water.
Next a professional examines the damage and determines if the pane can be repaired or must be replaced. If repair is possible the business owner has just saved a substantial sum of money. An acid or a scratch repair can improve the glass to a nearly new status for a mere fraction of the replacement cost, typically 30%-50%.
Depending on the system used, deep scratches up to 0.015 inches may be repaired. Scratches of this depth will typically catch a fingernail if gently rubbed across the damaged area.
To sum up, graffiti on glass may be dangerous. Call a professional immediately, they are trained to minimize the risks associated with this potentially harmful damage.
Stay tuned for my review of the Scratch Hog.
