How to remove crayon color fill
I am about to color fill my M&P. I am doing it with crayon. Question is how do I remove it if I choose to?

Do a google search, a ton of videos should come up on you tube.

Heat and a tooth pick. No?

toothpick seems to be the most obvious route. heat might help but might try the toothpick by itself first.
if you heat up that crayon wax might it then seep into places that are even tougher to reach?

I would think a hairdryer and a paper towel quickly pressed against it until it "cools." Never tried it but that should get most of it.

Best bet, nail polish, remove with...nail polish remover. Works great on both color fill and sight dots.

For Crayon, there's no need for nail polish remover... all you really need is a good scrub with your usual gun cleaner.After all, Crayon is only modified wax. The Hair Dryer and paper towel should also work well.

Markings
I use a white grease pencil to mark lettering on my S&W blued handguns and a black grease pencil on the stainless steel ones. It can be readily removed with a paper towel and an old tooth brush.

I would use gun solvent and the wife's toothbrush.

Simple... Crayon let's you experiment with various colors without buying a mess of polish.
Once you've decided which color you like best, remove the Crayon and THEN upgrade to Polish.

You can shoot a lot of ammo till it melts out.

I think I should do this on all my quarters. I could fill every other rib along the edges with red. Then I would have really cool, tactical quarters. Every time I would put one in a parking meter, people would say "Hey! Where did you get those tacticool quarters, Man?" It would be epic.

I thought the fad of filling in letters died in the 1980's.
