I know that they used acetone but I forgot the other item I was supposed to use. I have several cartons, like Cool Whip where the printing is right on the container. Thank you very much.

  Thank you for answering my question Dysko. Like you said, it's just acetone. I bought a bottle at Dollar Tree so now I am ready to start. I think I have about six containers that I can start on right now. I appreciate you responding to my question.

  Thank you so much Lokie. I bought a bottle of nail polish remover that was 100% acetone at Dollar Tree. It sounds like you have used this method yourself. I am happy to hear that it worked great for you - I hope it works great for me too.
