| I have a piece of PVC pipe that I'm using for a completely non-plumbing use.
Can the printing on the outside of the pipe be removed with anything, without clouding the finish? There's the red ink w/ the info about the type of pipe, and then there's the black UPC code from Home Depot for the price. Will either of those come off?

| Providing you are removing the writing to use the pipe for a non-plumbing application you may do so and its very easy. The PVC primer that we use to prep a joint will remove that writing. Inside the primer can there is a wool dauber attached to the lid by means of a wire. Just rub the writing with the wet dauber then wipe the ink off with a rag. |

| thanks! I'm not sure it's worth the expense, but it's good to know that it will work! It turns out that the way I've positioned it completely hides the writing, so I may leave it alone. And it's SO non-plumbing! I cut a short length and set it on a shelf, and sticky-ed it to the wall, to set my electric screwdriver in so it won't fall over. |

| "...without clouding the finish?" You can use acetone, which is a component of the primer. Either WILL cloud the gloss on the pipe if you aren't quick about it. |
