The easiest way to remove a screen-printed logo from plastic, as demonstrated in the provided reference, is often by using fingernail polish remover.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on the referenced video:
- Apply Fingernail Polish Remover: Generously apply fingernail polish remover (acetone) to the logo.
- Let it Sit: Allow the remover to sit on the logo for a short period.
- Wipe Away: The logo should start to lift and wipe away easily.
Important Considerations:
- Type of Plastic: Test the fingernail polish remover in an inconspicuous area first. Some plastics can be damaged or dissolved by acetone.
- Type of Logo: This method seems to work best for screen-printed logos. Other types of logos might require different techniques.
- Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area when using fingernail polish remover.
Alternative Methods (not explicitly mentioned in the reference but commonly used):
While the video highlights fingernail polish remover, other methods might be effective, depending on the type of logo and plastic. However, proceed with caution and test in an inconspicuous area first:
- Goo Gone or Similar Adhesive Removers: These may work on some types of logos that are more like stickers or decals.
- Heat Gun (Low Setting): Applying gentle heat might soften some logos, making them easier to peel off. Be extremely careful not to melt the plastic.
- Rubbing Alcohol: May work on some weaker inks.
