Removing Print from Dive Slate

[green_dc]

Hi all,

has anyone ever removed the factory print from their dive slates? I have PADI DM slates, and I want to remove some of the markings on one to have a legible space to write on.

Varsol - no effect
Magic eraser - cleans the pencil marks perfectly

Some fine grit sandpaper could work, just try it out on a smal corner to make sure you don't ruin the whole thing.

You could also try an SOS pad (ultra-fine steel wool) or one of its generic equivalents.

Acetone. (found in fingernail polish remover)

Once it's down to gray smudges, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser used dry will make it look as good as new!

What kind of print or marks? Alcohol works on ink. Acetone works on paint, but may eat away at the plastic. Sand paper or steel wool will scrape off thin layers. Magic eraser is mostly for pencil marks.

Lastly, wet-notes will erase your dive-slate from your life because of how much better they are than a dive-slate.

Absolutely nothing, will take that stuff off, and produce a fine job except wet sandpaper with masking tape and a finger

Under water I mostly use sand.
