dbutlerman Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 What do you guys use to remove Lume from the dial of a watch without removing any of the details on the dial base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I carefully apply acetone to the lume using a toothpick. And once it is soft, I use another toothpick to dig our the lume. It's tedious, but it works for me. I like acetone because it evaporates fairly quick and is not too aggressive (although it will remove paint on most Rolex dials without much effort).

adam.lee.88 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 @lala even on a sandwhich dial you should remove old lume as you cant apply as much new lume without making it too thick to reassemble the whole reason you're reluming is that the old lume is not good enough so why not use the full amount of space you have by getting rid of the old bad stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
