>>7198737>I'm sorry but I am severely out of touch with any kind of art supply. I only have BiC pens for signing my paperwork and a sharpie I use to write replies to bathroom graffiti. But something simpler then a Q-tip and nail polish does sound appealing.OK anon I will walk you through the how-to. First, you'll want a mechanical pencil to have something to grasp onto so you don't have to pinch the eraser between your fingers. Next, you'll want an eraser that crumbles. I recommend this brand.
Next step is to use scotch tape to tape off the sections of printing that you don't want to remove. I suggest getting your hands sweaty and then touching the tape to your skin a bunch to get rid of most of the adhesive. If there's too much adhesive, it can peel off the printing when you remove the tape. You just need the tape to be sticky enough to remain in place when you bump it with the eraser, but not so sticky that it peels off printing.
You might have to work in stages where you apply and remove tape if there are a lot of tight spaces, but the mad scientist jacket is pretty easy to clean up because you just have to cover the collar, flap, and belt so you should be able to just put one piece covering the collar, one piece covering the seam, and one piece covering the belt.
Next, just start rubbing the eraser on the piece.
Finally, remove the tape (running hot water over it as you peel it away seems to help loosen it), use hand soap to wash any adhesive off of the torso, and (optionally) use a microfiber cloth or sweat-wicking shirt to polish the area that you erased. Depending on how solid the printing is, you might have to leave a scuff mark on the piece getting all the printing off. Then again, I heresy'd some brand new pieces last night and it came off so easily that there's no indication there was ever printing there.
DO NOT USE NAIL POLISH REMOVER, EVEN THE KIND THAT'S NON-ACETONE. IT WILL DISSOLVE YOUR LEGOS.
