another one done, 20min tops.
This was one of the green cats found on zenith tubes. I put it in the sun for about 15min, then used some SS saftey wire (.007 IIRC) and looped it around the perimeter just under the lens. I tied it off with enough space to get a thick piece of card board under it to protect my hands. then just started pulling. It cut thru the gelitin consistancy plastic goo. Once I pulled it completly thru the lenes lifted off. Most of the goo stuck to the lens, very nasty stuff. I next put the lens in my wading pool (in the shade so the water is cool), and the goo quickly set up. allowing a pretty clean pull off (was like rubber coming off after cooling). the lens will still need some cleaning but its 95% goo free now.
Bottom line is the green is easy but a bit messy, the white is a bit more of an effort but pretty much mess free.
