Poor Star Wrap ...

Loading...

I would think paint thinner / paint remover would do the job? Also, research Oxy cleaners? Try Go Gone. Even try Magic Eraser.

I would bet if you spend enough time, you could find a thread in here about this very thing - cleaning paint off of satin wrap.

Be sure not to get the wood wet though (perhaps preaching to the choir?)

Above all - be sure to test these before using widely - to make sure they do not damage the wrap you are trying to save preserve.

You might want to consult AirborneSFC about this.

From Sgt_pepers

the aceton substitute work well (made by Onyx) but put like a white film on the wrap...

Sometimes if a solvent has deglossed a surface, you can restore the gloss with paste wax.

Try some on the wrap you did with the Onyx stripper.

thanks Drummerjohn for AirborneSFC tuto/tips, interesting

thanks Starship krupa for suggestion, the past wax is the best result with buffer machine, but is not perfect because of the type of wrap (not plain)...

Rowland technologie will be my solution... 60€/meter is not too expensive..

If the paint is latex you might have a shot.

satin flame has a texture (that traps paint) and is easily scratched(so no sand paper).

as sad as it is, I think you are lookin at a re wrap.

but I could be wrong....

Hi,

another member has given a hint to an ebay auction, with apparently the correct wrap:

if it happens to be water based paint then your in luck. it will still be in the grooves of the wrap but atleast you can get most of it off and then work on the fine cleaning.

i assume this material is made the same as it is today. the top layer has the swirl or serpintine pattern made in it. under it is the color adheared to it. a reference would be one of those linticular images.

if anyone has tried to take this material off a drum you would find (if it was all glued down) then when you peel it that bottom color stays on the drum.

there's no way to save it except for vintage drums because as far as i know, they didn't glue it all down like we do today.
