Hi,
We just purchased a home that was gut renovated about 5 years ago. Both bathrooms have either acrylic or fiberglass tubs with enclosures. Is there a way to tell whether they are acrylic or fiberglass?
We removed glass doors that were, in our opinion, poorly installed and ugly. We now have screw holes and adhesive stains to deal with. Any help that could be provided for suggestions on how to clean these up ourselves would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kathleen

Why do you need/want to know if they are fiberglass or acrylic? Mostlikely fiberglass if it's a rigid wall enclosure. Will you be replacing the doors with new, new door lams will likely cover the bad area. If laquer thinner doesn't cut your adhesive then a razor scraper will but be very careful to not gouge.

I guess I don't care if they are acrylic or fiberglass - just thought it might make a difference in how I address the problem. We do not plan on replacing the doors. We prefer shower curtains. We tried laquer thinner & krud remover cleaner but there remains screw holes (with plastic anchors), some small cracks and adhesive stains that I would like to take care of in some way. Although they can't be seen with the shower curtain closed they are very visible when the shower curtain is open.
Thanks for your feedback...

You can buy a flexible bead that looks like a ceramic piece of trim, its actually plastic. This stuff is found in the tile aisle and it comes in dozens of colors and style. If you can't hide a flax. Cover it.

Try a heat gun

Since the poster is trying to cover up the holes from the old door I can't see how a heat guns will help much. If trying to remove a adhesive stain with a heat gun the poster better be sure this is not acrylic since it will melt.

Heat the area slowly and be careful when scraping the caulk residue
Fill the holes with poly seam seal caulk to match :)
