<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 436942, member: 4552"]Here is a suggestion. I've tried denatured Alcohol on many plastics with different results. For example the tops of those Solar Lights when they get all dirty and block the sun. Some come out clean as if new. Others get worse and turn completely dark. I've tried taking the gummy stuff off those plastic rolls from tape. I use tape and paper to lable the coins in the rolls and when I change I tried to take that tape off. On some rolls it comes right off. On others it turns the plastic all cloudy. </p><p>These results are always random pending the type of plastic. </p><p>So here is my suggestion. Take a cotton swab or small piece of cloth. Dip in denatured Alcohol, not rubbing Alcohol. On the bottom of the slab try rubbing a little and wait to see the results. If nothing, then slowly, very slowly try those finger prints. The main thing is to try a few places on the bottom out of the way to make sure the Alcohol will not effect that type of plastic. </p><p>And attempting to try this on other slabs may not have the same results since organizations change thier products frequently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
