what dissolves white-out?

[dpopiz]

I white-outed the bezel of my black-bezel LCD monitor to make it look less gangsta, but I'm selling it now and I need to remove the white out. i can chip it off but that's going to take a long time and probably leave nics in the plastic.

So you went from gangsta to ghetto?

I think nail polish remover will work. Whatever you do, put something on the screen to protect it first. White out though?? That can't possibly look good. Why didn't you use spraypaint?

Most solvents will attack the base plastic below.

Good luck with that one.

The white out vehicle may have already damaged the base plastic.

take off bezel, sand -> paint.

Why not use a black magic marker?

Be sure to unplug it from the UPS first.

So... tequila?

Or try chipping off with a credit card.

You can rub it with the rough side of some velcro, this should be scratchy enough to remove it but not damage the bezel.
might need to tidy it up with a wet cotton bud

You can also actually use a debit card but I bet centurion works better since it's made of metal.

I'm sure that H2SO4 will dissolve the white out... And your computer...
:awe:

probably in a landfill somewhere, but still would like to have seen a pic of it.

The sad joke is that our Madame has left us.

No reason to bump this 8+ year old thread.

Question asked and answered back then.
