Thank you. The key was using steel wool and keeping it wet like you mentioned in the video. I tried Goof Off and Acetone it just smeared the ink or dulled it. The steel wool soaked in Acetone cleaned up the smears and all the ink was removed.

Look at that! It cleans up just like a whiteboard!

I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!

Doesn't this process leave the pipe with a dull, matte, etched surface? I would think that this newly cleaned surface would then be more likely to pick up dirt etc. Maybe then polish or seal coating would be needed...

don't forget, no open flames

thanks. beauty supply places (Sally's) have pure acetone too

where is the video of the painting/staining?

Make sure you don’t wear LATEX gloves while doing this.

Nail polish remover doesnt do it very well. Is that pure acetone your using?

Why do the manufacturers print these ugly marks all over the pipe in the first place? There has to be a better way to label pipe without turning it into such an ugly thing. This reminds me of when fruit packers were tattooing the packer's logo on oranges. Someone came up with those little paper stickers that peel off because one edge does not have adhesive backing. Maybe PVC pipe manufacturers could do something similar? Please!

Is acetone toxic to breath?

Can you please tell me the name of the chemical you've just used?

If a person has a lot to do then this is time consuming and a waste of time.
