  • Most Tippex is water based these days.

    A warm bath and a good scrub should take most of it off. If not it will come of gradually over the next few days, as the skin sheds naturally.

    hello

    my friends daughter decided to tippex herself and the house.

    how are we meant to remove it from her?

    we've tried soap and water and nail varnish remover!

    any ideas would be great!

    try smearing butter over the tippexed areas leave for a while then dump her in a hot soapy bath:D
