Since recently receiving GT blems from Jim, wanted to revive this thread since I'm having a little trouble getting "all" the labeling off... Lacquer thinner took most off, but still show faint blackening. Tried acetone, no help, tried NAPA gasket remover which works on Carbonwoods, but no help on these GTs. Gonna try Dawn dishsoap and Scotts pad next...

I always use Brillo pads wit the soap in it. But it was a year ago since I bought GT's...

Well I see gasket remover does not work any more, neither did any other solvent I tried. different ink I guess.  did 2 doz with 000 steel wool though,no solvent, wasnt too terribly bad

I think the key was the Scotch Brite pad. It's an abrasive just like fine steel wool. I just got some Trad Blems and the markings (not the wood grain) wiped right off with acetone and steel wool. I like to take all the markings off except the 3555/1535 etc, since I shoot both and want to be able to tell them apart easily. Have to be very careful taking the markings off that I don't get the numbers at the same time.
