Works. Confirmed for me. Thanks!

Is this only good for screen prints, or could it help a giclee?

Don't even try it on a giclee!

Fine then! (Thanks)
Lesson learned: Don't leave your art unattended at Michael's. Even if it's only a $35 giclee and you're just looking for a standard frame.

Fine Folks of EB,
I want to get your advice on a similar issue before diving in. I got a longtime ISO the other day - Phish's print from Charlottesville in 2009 - and it came with some scuffs from the shipping, I believe. Here's a couple pictures:

I want to try something to get them out, and the leading candidates from this thread seem to be the kneadable eraser and the "water trick." But since I've been looking for this one for so long, I'm skittish...thought I might lean on some of you experts for some advice first. What would you recommend?
All advice appreciated; will not hold you accountable

Whatever ya do don't use the prismacolor kneadable eraser.

Do the water trick for sure.

I'm no Poster Mountain but I wanted to share a method for removing scuffs on a black print.
This print is pretty trashed right?

I have scuff marks on a light grey screen print, the scuffs appear off-white in dim light. I am fortunate to have been sent a replacement so I now have the opportunity to try out the kneaded eraser technique. Just for clarification though, am I dabbing the actual scuff mark or 'blending' the surrounding ink with the scuff?
Thanks in advance.
