Title: Cleaning Marks/Smudges on Blade Post by: Christianj03 on August 06, 2020, 06:53:14 PM Is there a way to clean the marks and smudges on your blade? I tried licking my finger and trying to rub it off, but it didn't work. Maybe soap and water?

I tried licking my finger and trying to rub it off, but it didn't work. Maybe soap and water? We have several threads about this on the forum, here's one: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1195.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1195.0) Ultra himself says Windex or Goo Gone.

It will produce a really neat chemical reaction which is not conducive to the continued existence of the polycarbonate material.

After a little research it appears that Goo Gone is citrus based while Goof Off is indeed acetone based, definitely not a mistake to make.

Thanks for the heads up though. Title: Re: Cleaning Marks/Smudges on Blade Post by: firehand10k on August 07, 2020, 04:33:18 AM Just water and a Magic Eraser sponge work good too.

Thanks for the heads up though. No, but I deal with Polycarbonate where I work, and one the first things I was taught very early on was not to use acetone on it. If you want to have some fun and see what actually happens, take a couple of old CD's or DVD's (you kids do know what those are, yes?), scratch one up really well with some sandpaper or other abrasive surface, and put some very deep scratched in another with a screwdriver or other sharp object. The put a little bit of acetone on the damaged part of the surface, doesn't have to be a lot, and pretty much anything acetone based (like some nail polish removers) will work. Then just watch what it does to the polycarbonate (no, it won't explode, or anything like that. Other than normal handling precautions for the acetone, there's nothing to worry about).

Good to know. And I just have to say that I grew up with vinyl, 8-tracks, and cassette tapes. I'm just new to high quality sabers.
