Sometimes painted pottery looks great, but other times it's an art project gone wrong. Whether you want to fix a school pottery project or restore a great piece of art pottery, use these techniques to remove unwanted paint.
Instructions
1. Put on the disposable gloves and mask (if desired) to use the paint dissolver. Open windows or work outside because all of these solvents create hazardous fumes.
2. Saturate the old cloth with the paint remover of your choice. Apply the cloth to the paint on the pottery and rub until the paint comes off. Use more remover as needed. The glaze, which is baked on, should be unaffected.
Graffiti remover sometimes comes in spray cans or in cloth wipe form.
3. Use the needle or safety pin (or another sharp object) to pick away stubborn spots of paint. This allows the remover to have better saturation.
4. Continue smudging the paint with the soft cloths until the paint is gone and the remover residue is wiped away.
