Tin Can
Posted on Friday, November 20, 2009 in Collectibles
How can you get the paint off an Altoids tin?
I want to customize my tin for a project, which entails getting the paint off the tin cover. What's the cheapest and most effective way to go about this?
Also, is there a way to get rid of the embossed "Altoids" on the cover?
use finger nail polish remover, [acetone]
to take the embossing out lay the top on a hard surface pound out with a hammer.
