Messed up my first project (HP-97)
Well it was bound to happen. I got cocky. I was just getting started by cleaning up the outside of the 97 while the battery charged in the other room.
There was some sharpie on the outside case, I got out some swabs & alcohol and it came off with just a little elbow grease. The keyboard looked a little gunked-up so I thought what the heck I've already got the swabs and alcohol out I'll just use that. BIG MISTAKE. As soon as the alcohol evaporated the plastic turned milky. I tried cleaning it with soap and water but no luck, I've done some kind of damage to the plastic itself. I feel like such a dork I should have known to try it on a small area first. A little Googleing says that a low temp heat gun is probably my best bet if I want to keep all of the lettering in tact. Is there a general consensus from the group on the proper way to fix this? jeff My Current Stable: HP-65, HP-67, HP-97, HP-41c, HP-35s |
