Remove Torque Seal

[SeanB]

Hi,
Any suggestions on what to use to easily remove torque seal? In a few cases, I'd prefer a different color than what I used previously. I would like to tidy a few things. I will be rechecking torque, of course.
Thanks!

Most of the time it will come right off if you scrape it with a screwdriver or something like a popsicle stick, chop stick, pick or scribe . It is actually a pretty brittle material.

Usually what ever socket or wrench I happen to use to loosen the nut removes about 90% of the torque stripe. If you're really serious about getting every bit off (I'm not), any thats left will come off with a little acetone on a paper towel.

(hint: If you're wife is seriously into fancy fingernails, you can probably get enough acetone for your whole airplane from her makeup drawer.)
