Remove ink from soda cans: In just 5 SIMPLE steps!

[@sodacanmodels]

In our latest video, we give one of our most popular soda can how to and DIY hack videos a much-needed makeover. We last did a video on this one well over two years ago after originally making one back in 2018 to answer one of the most frequently asked questions we get - how to easily take the ink off of soda cans. Like many can crafters, we use this technique whenever we want to make something with that bright, shiny silver luster, like our P-51D Mustang, the F-86 Sabre or even the MiG 21. In our latest version, we improve upon our original concept by showing sheets as well as whole cans along with alternatives if you don't have a cooker like the one we use in the video. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this latest version. We hope you'll find it just as intuitive as you did the first.

Thank you for the temp and time for using the oven if you don’t have a pressure cooker. Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere else. It’s a really big help!! 👍👍👍

Thanks for the feedback. We really wanted to improve upon the original concept and show certain things and give out critical pieces of information that we didn't do the first time to make this process easier...

I don't have an oven or a pressure cooker, is there a third way to remove the paint lacquer?

[@sodacanmodels]

The most common method would be using steel wool or Brillo pads. Its takes a lot of work and a bit more time but it will work.

@@sodacanmodels wouldn't that strips the shiny surface? will the normal brass polishing method works since the aluminum is already thin enough for further destructive tampering?

[@sodacanmodels]

@@noruparry Honestly, we've never tried the steel wool method because the pressure cooker method alters the cans to a far lesser degree than the steel wool method probably does. All I can say is that when working with cans, experimentation is key. Its the best way to learn what works and what doesn't for however you intend to use your cans.
