Jazz Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Any recommendations for removing felt tip of labels thanx in advance
Guest Shufflin Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 you could try thew hairspray method, seen it recoomended by a few https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/490326 please don't blame me if it doesn't work though, personally I'd not mess with a label in case it blisters
Catsprint Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Permanent marker on a white board can be removed by writing over it with a dry wipe pen and then wiping it ....... just a thought?
Frankie Crocker Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Nothing on earth you can do about this. If the label is paper and the fibres are impregnated with dye, only a bleaching solvent will remove the ink but will take the label colour with it. If the label is printed onto styrene, a solvent will remove the ink but take a patch of label with it. Probably best to just buy another copy of the record.

Ian Stacey Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Don't bother as long as it's a genuine one & the grooves are clean the label quality makes no real difference sometimes makes you want to find out its story by the name on it but apart from that do not let bother you 2
El Corol Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Just colour all of the label in the same colour felt, job done

You have a mint record to play,keep it that way,if you use chemicals or solvents,it may damage or even melt the record possibly including the playing surface,then it would be scrap. I have one or two similar to you,it adds to the character of the record, part of it's history and above all, original rare vinyl. Edited February 24, 2019 by Mustang 2
