removing stamp from wizard

[TheUberDork]

Does any one know how to remove the stamp on the wizard?

I would first try the search method.
If that doesn't work, acetone and elbow grease. And good luck. Dave likes to permanently scar his discs; Gateway has deeper embossed stamps than any other manufacturer.

Be carefull if it is a black stamp it might smear when trying to take off.

I agree on all fronts...search, then acetone, and then live with the fact that the stamp is embossed about 60% of the way through the flightplate.

Ease up on the handle of that stamp machine, Gateway dudes!

Crap, I had the sweetest idea for a Wizard stamp and was wondering the same thing as the OP. Now that you guys say the stamp is hella pressed in that RUINS MY LIFE!!!!!

I remember reading somewhere Dave said he likes to sink the stamps in there, he thinks it's cool looking to have them like that. On some of the custom stamps I've seen though, they aren't that deep, like on the couple DD discs I have and the infamous Wizard of Oz stamp. Also, on the softer plastics, he doesn't seem to go as deep.

But...it might be all kind of a moot point, b/c I don't think any of the Gateway plastic is particularly good for dyeing. I know the S is crap for dye, and I've only seen one attempted dye on E, and it wasn't anything that looked good.

I was going to post something about the DD stamps probably being easier to remove, but I agree most of the Wizard plastic I've seen wouldn't take a dye too well.

I've got a white one with the stamp permanently removed -- just acetone and elbow grease. But it was a disc that had the wizard image just barely embedded in the disc. If I were you, I'd drop David McCormack an e-mail and ask him if he's got any blanks he can send you. I've found him to be really helpful anytime I wanted a specific disc. Anyway, it's worth a try. He would probably also be able to tell you which plastic will take dye the best. I've got a tie-dyed Illusion that holds the dye just fine, but it's the only dyed Gateway disc I've seen.
