The door weighs a ton and I have to take it down and put it back any time I leave and at night.I first tried sanding off the mess but that didn't work. went on line and saw a demo using a heat gun. That worked well for the larger flat sections.
I was nervous about using the heat gun near the glass. And that proved valid. I tried and was fairly successful for a couple of panes but on the third I created a slight crack in the glass because of the heat from the gun.
I switched to stripper chemicals (citrus and 3M Safe Stripper). I've also sanded and applied post-stripper wash.
