Removing paint spatter?

Post by ddresser »

Recently aquired scroll saw that has paint spatter on it. Any ideas on a way to clean it off?

Some suggestions on this site might work. Stop by a paint shop and see it they have any suggestions.

Rubbing alcohol (3% isopropyl alcohol from grocery store) may work.

[93%] might work better!:D IF latex base. If oil base, something stronger. Mineral spirits and elbow grease. Any thing stronger may also remove the 'original' finish. Try goo-gone!

I would probably try mineral spirits first.
Next would probably be some kind of rubbing compound, maybe automotive just because I have a good bit of it on hand.
You could also try Pumice or rotten-stone.
Another option and one I am good at is to just ignore it. :D

I am with the farmer; what paint spatter??? More to my interest is that your scroll saw is Made In The USA! :D

Thanks for the suggestions. Paint store had something called Oops to remove dried latex. That got most of it off and if I don't look thru the bottom of my bifocals can't see the rest.

Thanks again,

Duane
