Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

water bottle printing

Does anybody know how to remove the printing from a water bottle. I like the camelback waterbottles but the graphics are a bit much. Thanks

Very fine sandpaper if you do not mind a frosted look on the bottle. A nasty commercial grade solvent like MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) otherwise. Use all proper safety precautions. Or just paint over the offending graphics.

See if nail polish remover works. Try it on an inconspicuous spot first, though to see if it damages the plastic.

I just remembered that I took some graphics off of a Hot Wheels car with it.
