You can remove them easily, by using 100% Acetone.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Acetone can be found in some paint stores and automotive finishing departments. It can also be found in some nail polish removers though it may not be strong enough to use for this purpose.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Use Acetone on a Q-Tip to rub and erase any flaws on your baked polymer clay. It works by &#8216;melting&#8217; the plastic and smoothing out the surface.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Acetone is highly flammable, toxic, has strong fumes and evaporates very quickly.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Use only in well ventilated areas and keep away from open flames or any heat sources.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Also it is extremely important to keep away from children and pets. Use with CAUTION and at your own risk.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It is always good to avoid getting flaws such as fingerprints on your beads and polymer clay projects in the first place, but acetone does work very well at removing them when the need arises&#8230; like in those difficult to sand nooks and crevices.<a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WxKuByXk1A8?rel=0\" height=\"323\" width=\"575\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #808080;\">Question of the Day:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Have you ever used Acetone before?
