    Totally random lol I'm a nail tech.. if you want it to work faster warm the acetone up.. it will cut down the paint faster.. like heating pad under the pan or put a towel over top to trap heat on.. ya kno stuff like that.. that's how nail polish remover works for nails.. mixes with your body heat.. hope that helps anyone 😁 thanks for sharing 😊

      @eponine318 Před 4 lety +1

      That's my favorite way to do it too. Any size you want to do, you can create it! The only downside is that you really need a strong punch to punch the mat. I'm thinking that the HP punch isn't strong enough.

      Try using the Crop-a-dile .. it doesn't punch disc style holes (like for Happy Planners) but it will go thru anything. Use it to punch holes then use strong scissors to cut a slit in each hole. There's your disc shape holes. 😉

    @eponine318 Před 4 lety +1

    Thanks for this hack. It was really interesting. I make mine using the dollar store cutting mats BUT I noticed that while you were scrubbing it didn't get the letters and design until later. So if you like the design, you could maybe just scrub until the covering was gone but stop and rinse before the design is gone - such possibilities!

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  Před 4 lety

      I tried that on one off camera and it worked, but then I when back and cleaned it fully to clear. It only seems to work light to dark.

    • @patriciajane322
      @patriciajane322 Před 4 lety +1

      Maybe just some the tooth brush in the acetone and then try to use in the areas not wanted and see if the other parts of the design are still there after you rinsed it off. This may help you keep what you do want on it since your not really submerging the whole dashboard. Worth a try I guess.

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  Před 4 lety +1

      Actually, I prefer the clear dashboards, so I don’t think I will be painting them. But I would probably use sharpie paint pens if was. If you wanted an solid overlay of color, probably start with a spray paint layer, the use the pens on tops once dry for designs.

      Here is a link the first pack I bought. The Happy Planner Dashboard Pack, Gold: amzn.to/2XgRgfv or (joann) bit.ly/2LxQsNW I have collected many others over the course of a couple years and then just recently figured out this hack for the ones I didn't like so much.
      I haven't tried paint remover but acetone is usually the main ingredient in paint thinner so I would assume it would work.
