Hi everyone,
I have a screen-used and screen-matched Oblivion prop whose inside is coated with a lot of blue ink. My friend says he recognizes the case as some sort of toner chamber so he’s not surprised with the spill. In the movie, the case is closed so you never see the inside. I’ve had this prop since the movie was released (2013), and the ink is still as wet as the day I got it! That’s right, much of it is wet to the touch and still comes off on your hands. I would appreciate the expertise and experience of this group to help me determine the best and easiest way (if it’s even possible) to remove the ink. At the very least, I want to get it to the point where it’s not wet anymore so I can sell it or display it without it being on a towel. Thank you!
