as I've built up my brass supply over this last year, I've run across calibers that either had ammo boxes of different colors, or ones that would be difficult to replace, & I buy all new ones ( my OCD goes crazy if I have 3 colors of plastic ammo boxes for the same gun )
on my boxes I usually write with a permanent marker the caliber on one end, & use masking tape to write all the load info on the cover... removing permanent marker from the smooth surface boxes just required a little elbow grease, but on the crinkle or pebble finish boxes it's always been much tougher to remove enough of the original writing, that they could easily be reused...
I tried goo gone, & it seemed to work "OK", but the other night I gave a box a shot with Triflow spray lubricant, & let it sit for 15-20 seconds, & hit it with a worn out green scotch brite pad, & the writing came off with very little effort... I'm sure WD-40 or any other similar product would work as well...
just thought I'd share...
anyone else have any of those kind of tips, I'd like to hear them... Thanks
