Forresto Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I feel as if someone must have posted this topic and when I googled the latest one was from 2010, which was six years ago. I think it's high time to restart a new topic on the subject especially since people may have discovered new techniques since the original topic. When I was younger I wanted to make my clone army more personalized and custom, as i'm sure many of us have done. Well now I regret that and hope to find some way of cleaning the figures safely without taking the factory printing off. I tried rubbing alcohol on a snow trooper and that unfortunately took off most of the original printing. I'm not sure if thats because I sharpied the entire torso and that's what did it because it's perfect on non printed surfaces in my limited experience. With my clones I only put small patches of yellow in various spots. My dilemma is the patches on the torsos. I might keep the small yellow square on the fins. Any help is appreciated. Quote
Agent Kallus Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I think that body-spray (not deodorant) works but make sure to wash it afterwards. (First post by the way.) Quote
L E G O Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 You could try Coleman fuel / white spirits. I've used it to instantly dissolve sharpy from CDs without harming the plastic. Quote
Commander Beltar Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I've used whiteboard markers and scribbled on top of the sharpie, then wiped it away with a towel, worked just about every time for me. Just a simple dry-erase Expo marker worked. I'd try it on a small sample to make sure it works though, might have just been luck for me or something. ~Beltar Quote
angywangy Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Whiteboard cleaner liquid has been what works best for me! Quote
Forresto Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks everyone I will have to give those a whirl! Quote
strider117 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Haha! I laughed when I read this, as I used to "customize" my clones too. Yours really aren't that bad, but mine look pretty terrible. I guess I should try some of the methods other people have posted... Quote
Jackad7 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I've picked up a horde of these damaged figures on lot buying. And I have abut three cans of axe from middle school that I have absolutely no use for as a young adult. Whamo, two birds with one stone. I'll try it and get back to you tomorrow. Quote
Jackad7 Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Axe body spray works. I used it for helmets and getting in the edge of the finns on the phase 1 helmets was a real pain buy torsos should be a breeze. Quote
Forresto Posted April 10, 2016 Author Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks everyone! I decided to try rubbing alcohol first and it works very well! It also strips normal printing a little however. All my clones have been cleaned up mostly as seen here! Quote
