Removing ink writing from Morini grip

[Discocom]

Hi all

Any ideas on best way to remove ink pen marks on grip as previous owner had marked sight rotation directions on the stock.

Might be worth a try for £1.99...?

If it's Biro try White Spirit. This will also lift the oil (if it is an oiled finish) so you will also need to re-oil that area.

Discocom,

Try using a soft eraser, such as the Pelikan brand.

have fun

There's a thing called brownells whitening paste.. it's basically chalk dust mixed with acetone. You paint it on, the acetone gets in about the wood and the chalk acts as a carrier to soak up anything that comes away.. you let it dry and brush it off... as before you'll probably have to refinish or Re oil any section you apply it to

Thanks everyone for the advice, going to remove the grips and try the eraser first, good news is that the writing is on the 'flat' parts of the grip, so if it all goes wrong I can gently sand it down and refinish with schaftol: http://schaftol.de/English/english.html

Search for schaftol there is only one uk seller, note that it comes in a range of shades I went for the lightest.

vbull,

I finished the stock of my Anschutz 250 with Scherell's stock oil, and I was very pleased with the result.

Ordinarily, I would have used walnut oil, but I had ordered a grip for my IZH46M from Rink, and bought some Scherell's from them to see what it was like (Rink apparently use Scherell's to finish their grips).

Ballistol also do 'Balsin' wood care oil, though I have no idea what that is and what it is like.

I applied the Scherell's according to their instructions, and all was spot on

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards

Is the Schaftol the same as Scherells ?

[PhatMan]

vbull,

Scherells is the brand (maker), and SchaftOl (= stock oil) is the product.

So, Scherells SchaftOl is what you would buy.

Have fun & a good weekend

Well... i took the grip off this evening and used nail varnish remover applied using a cotton bud.

Worked fine and repeated applications removed all the ink. Have now applied a coat of schaftoil and left to soak in over night.
