Textured inlay removal (1 Viewer)

So question before i proceed. Does the non acetone nail polish work with the textured inlays? Will that get the paper like inlay removed completely? Or is there a different route i should take to get these off? Any tips would be awesome

That does not look fun to take off. I am currently working on removing labels on Aztar Evansville 100$ chips with the silver flakes in them. The vinyl label sticks to the silver flake and if there is a lot of that in the chip composition it is really slow going.

i have a flat blade i can use to scrape but im wondering if the non acetone nail polish will make it way easy or if it will mess it up more.

Only one way to find out!

@grantc54 you ever deal with any textured paulsons?

Yes, but it was a double whammy in that it was also a shaped inlay. From what I remember it is a PITA BUT the nail polish remover did seem to help.

Yah... I've come across a few of those. PITA.

The best I could come up with was a long-ish (5 minute) soak with a couple drops of NPR and then a good amount of scraping. Ugh...

Hope you find something that works better.

Nail polish will not remove the textured plastic part of the the inlay. You must use a knife for that. After the plastic has been removed, coat the printed part of the label that remains with the nail polish. Wait 5 minutes, then peel off the printed part.

FWIW - I don't think it's a textured inlay thing. I've removed plenty of textured inlays where the 'more vinyl'ish' under-label came off easily with NPR.

But then I also had a handful of 'more paper'ish' underlabels that looked like what you're dealing with there that were a major PITA.

Vinyl comes off easier than paper in my experience with a NANPR soak.
