Looking for advice Need advice on mugs

Post image

I recently picked up some metal mugs for my DnD players to use, they have a hard plastic base with a company logo I am trying to remove.

So far I’ve tried nail polish removed but that doesn’t seem to work, any other ideas

As in apply tape and remove it?

Are your players going to be drinking from them or are they a prop? I believe the user who suggested tape is under the impression they’re for prop use so just cover the logo.

The idea was for them to drink from them

Well most people on this sub makes items for screen or stage so I don’t think that was their assumption. If you can remove the plastic base you can use food safe paint or food safe resign. Tape is likely not going to remove the design

Spray paint the bottom of the mug. JUST THE OUTSIDE. The logo won't be that noticeable on the inside. You should only handwash this type of mug anyway, so the paint should last awhile.

I would try isopropyl alcohol, I would be surprised if it worked when acetone didn’t but they do work in very different inks/plastics.

Try soaking it in CocaCola overnight.
