Pretty sure I got them all down in under 48 hours. Now we wait. sisyphus

For whatever reason they keep putting them all up around the local elementary school. I'm probably making some kid waste their allowance while I get my cardio in.

Seeing those torn down takes the sting off seeing my own stickerbomb attempts getting torn down

rat-salute-2 Yah, I really hope it ticks them off. I figure the quicker I can get them down, the more enraging and fruitless it is for them. The first time they put some new ones up within a few days each time but eventually gave up because I kept getting them down within a day or two. This was the most at once they've done and I'm pretty sure I got them all within the few blocks they covered. My only concern is they've started using a sharpie to write Trump 2024 and I'm hoping they don't switch over to that entirely. The isopropyl alcohol I tried didn't work. Think I'll have to cover it up with more sharpie.

Isopropyl alcohol works best on glossy, non-porous surfaces. Sharpies have ultra fine pigments that get into every pore and bleed to the surface really well. Get one of the MAGNUM chisel tip ones to make cover up faster and easier.

Yeah, they're writing on the back of signs and on telephone poles. I've got a king size sharpie that I hope'll do the trick but I'll keep the magnums in mind. Thanks!

Would acetone work any better?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Oh, nail polish remover is acetone, isn't it. I think I have some of that. Maybe give that a shot, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Pure methanol should work, and failing that acetone. I use alcohol resistant markers for some work things and it's still possible to strip it.

Hmm, noted, thanks. I hate working with it, but I do have some xylene if it comes down to it.
