Odyseus 1 Posted July 13, 2012 Hi all, Is there a better way to remove Lume from the Lume buckets without having to chip the Lume out? Some Lume dissolves in Accetone, but some Lume looks like it's mixed in plastic and is really hard. It's almost impossible to avoid scratching the Lume buckets!!! Is there a solvent (other than Accetoe) that will dissolve this hard Lume? I think the lume buckets are plated metal.. Cheers John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted July 13, 2012 I always use Acetone with my Ultrasonic cleaner that works great - so here is spoiler for everyone want to know - for best results the hardest lume to get off marker is to keep it soaked for 24 hours minimum, then the jar with acetone and markers put into ultrasonic cleaner, the vibrations will remove the lume from markers without scratching them, then just take out the markers, polish them and relume Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10:10 Watch Repair 1 Posted July 13, 2012 maybe Kenny has OK results this way, but acetone and an ultrasonic cleaner is a recipe for removing plating from markers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digger2 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Note, there are some cheap ultrasonic cleaners with plastic containers, don't use acetone in those Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
