Removing white high-lite?

alvin · 09-11-2013, 07:08 AM

Lacquer highlight applied recently can be easily removed by gun oil. Lacquer marks applied long time ago dried up completely, if gun oil cannot loose it, AceTone definitely can loose it. Then, brushing with an soft toothbrush gently while the area is "wet". If not completely off, applying AceTone again. But don't let AceTone spill on wood, it will damage the varnish. Better remove the wood from the gun first. On metal finish, it's safe.

The lacquer highlight does make the gun look 1%-2% newer, probably due to it creates a high contrast.

I have had good luck with lacquer thinner and a toothbrush. Just another possible.
