Titanium nail - Melted Plastic

BlazedAllDay · 02-11-2013, 09:49 AM

Hey so I stupidly set my hot Ti nail down on a plastic mat thing after I was done dabbing. Now left on the nail there is a really shiny coating which I can only assume is dried plastic stuck to the titanium. Any recommendations you guys might have to clean off the plastic from the nail? I was originally thinking wear a mask and just burn off the plastic with the torch. Or would some sort of scraper/solvent work better?
Thanks for the help lol!

Tweezers and a torch.
Melt it off a couple times. Heat it up good.

Plastic top mouse pads are horrible for that reason.

A new nail really? Just burn it off you'll be good to go.

^^^ burn it off
scrape it with something if you gotta
i dont think a new nail is necessary

Heat up until it is red hot to burn off the plastic and then dump it into cold water. Any remaining plastic on the nail will flake off as it hits the water.

Ahaha the times I've had to pull dried plastic off my HE nail....
..One time I think it was a bit of car seat (after narrowly missing my junk )

Wait till it dries and you should be able to chip is straight off if it isn't something funky..heat to clean. All good. Me personally though? I stick to the pad.
