Brooks125 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 Is there a magic trick to remove ball point ink lines from leather? I put a lot of work into this holster ... am running low on my leather until the weekend ... and scribed a stitch line on the back of a holster. I rally don't want to start over, but I'm guessing .............................................. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted January 27, 2018 Cellulose thinners [aka lacquer thinners] will remove the ink. Soak a rag with the cellulose thinners and rub over the ink line. Turn the rag to a fresh clean bit every so often other wise you just smear the ink wider. Once the ink is removed, wipe the rest of the area around with cellulose thinners as well otherwise you'll get a tide mark. After this you'll need to feed the leather as the thinners take out oils too An alternative is to gouge out the ink line Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
