besides sanding, how do you remove ink from printwood

Postby grinx76 » Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:30 am

in reference to whatever ink Guillow's uses

been having a tough time of Googling up an answer

1) rubbing alcohol does not work
2) enamel thinner does not work
3) acrylic thinnner (rubbing alcohol?) does not work
4) witch hazel does not work
5) cheap box wine does not work


thanks!

Fingernail polish remover. Which is Acetone. Dip a Q-tip in the acetone and rub the ink off. Takes about 15 seconds of rubbing.

How about using a little dab of tan-colored acrylic paint?
