Hi everyone,

I have a friend who is using a Record tubular for a race and would like to remove the name from them. Does anyone have any ideas?

The name seems to be printed on, I'm worried about solvent though incase it damages the rubber. Any ideas would be welcome.

Thank you :thumbup:

Permanent black marker?

I'd thought about that, seems the most logical doesn't it? Might try it on some other markers for the solvent and go from there, thank you :thumbup:

Acetone will take care of it right away, and it evaporates fast enough to cause no damage to the rubber. I dip qtips in acetone and use it when white veloflex logos get dirty enough.

Just to close this out, Acetone worked perfectly :thumbup:

The rubber wasn't damaged and the logo wiped off leaving nearly nothing behind it. Not noticeable from a meter away. Thank you.
