Hey guys. I'm looking to undertake a project that'll take quite a bit of erasing of borders and art. I know I can just erase them off with certain erasers but I am wondering if there is a faster method or an easier that will do it VERY fast.

Let me know.
Thanks!
A quick search of the forums shows either eraser or acetone is the way to go.
Be warned though, acetone will eat through the tape you use to mask off the borders, so use it in moderation if you do.
Some suggest doing most of the border with a quick acetone, then finishing with eraser.
As always, test it out on some basic lands or something first. (And not guru!)
Hmm. I usually only use acetone for foils. If these are regular, will acetone do much? Ill give it a shot!
It works well for regular cards, and if you mask you can use blue painter's tape (which Acetone does not eat through) but there can sometimes be a residue that is left over at the interface between the masked area and the "erased" area.
Acetone strips cards just fine but it eats the tape and can make clean lines impossible. If you go near the edges it leaks around the edges and onto the back. If you want blank slugs this is fast and easy, but if you want to retain any imagery you don't want acetone.
Let me know.
Thanks!
