Default Somehow managed to mess up plastidip badge

Could not for the life of me get the plastidip out from the insides of the e letters.

Ended up just scratching paint away from the insides.


I guess it would've been a better choice to just pay the 9.99 for a black jeep badge lol

Maybe let it dry longer. Even cure over a few days before trying to cut and peel.

I used a dull tooth pick... WaSnt perfect but you can't see any imperfection unless you are all the way up on it trying to see a wrinkle in the dip

Finished mine last night and I used a toothpick...it had dried for about 6 hours...actually thought about the pencil eraser too, but the area inside letters was just too small. These small areas are more difficult...It does remove significantly easier the larger the pieces.

Yea. The large pieces peeled right off with no problems. It was just inside the "e"a pretty much.
