So I received an Unpainted toy that had some paint on it that I wanted off. I used nail polish remover to get it off along with alcohol. I notice it got some paint off but is there a chance it ate away the vinyl? It's marbled so maybe it's just different there than the rest but I'm unsure. What do you guys think?
acetone (in nail polish remover) will scuff vinyl. the alcohol will not harm the vinyl but wont remove vcolor.
Man I wouldn't use nail polish remover. That stuff can eat through some plastics. I use Winsor & Newtons brush cleaner, works great and doesn't stain plastic/resin (at least that I have found anyway.)
Okay thanks guys. I think it might just be the marbled vinyl looking like it is being eaten away because I tried the acetone on a piece of flash and it didn't do anything.
Any of you guys ever use purell hand sanitizer? I use it to remove ink stains etc from my cheapo Ikea furniture, the white foil covered stuff. It works pretty great after just a few seconds of soaking the stain. Seems like it might be gentle enough to remove crayon, light scuffing from toys but not paint.
