Solvent, a DA, time, and new Gel coat fixed the problem. Hope this helps.
Glad someone mentioned this.. Gel Coat for glass.. a must. At the Corvette restoration shop that I work part-time at we will not paint a vette without gel coat.

As far as the blasting. You MUST clean everything. blow out all the corners and jambs extra well and of course you will clean the surface before sealing it.
