Cigarette Burn on Kevlar Head

Loading...

Hey, guys,

     I recently purchased a Kevlar batter head with a small cigarette burn near the edge. The head hasn't arrived yet, but the seller was very honest in pointing this flaw out to me. Is there any way of removing or disguising the mark? I've read opinions using toothepaste and baking soda. Even mayonaise!

Thanks,

   Hey, guys!

     My head arrived early and except for the burn, which I was expecting, it looks really good. I tried toothpaste and baking soda. Nothing. Mayonaise? Nope. Finally, I experimentred with "fantastic, with bleach." Bingo! I saturated a Q-tip with fantastic and gently dabbed at the mark for about a minute. I wiped clean with a damp cloth. I then repeated the routine. I would say that the burn is about 95% eliminated!
