Chicken Creek Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Maybe acetone? Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 If the solvents wont take it off, Check for other brands All the rolls Ive seen down here have no printing on em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YosemiteSam Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Our foil tape (Colorado / Home Depot) has two identical rows of printing in 1/2" high letters UL NASHUA etc....numbers....blah blah... Makes a rather odd looking lure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
out2llunge Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Try lighter fluid (zippo) ...don't know if it works, but takes off other stuff with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I found a roll of tape at work that had the red printing on it today. Lacquer thinner made short work of it. Acetone & lighter fluid would probably work also. There ya go YS, your all set, now, get ta foiling some baits! enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YosemiteSam Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Okey-Dokey! (but that lure I made a few days ago....I'm leaving the red writing on, because when those Pike see the Underwriter's Laboratory logo, they're gonna respect it!)

YosemiteSam Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Acetone & Denatured Alcohol both worked, so I guess I needn't even bother with anything else. Anyway, I've enjoyed working with some of this foil. My first efforts are crude, but very satisfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
