Andy,

Instead of removing the silkscreen, you could just white out the bad
callouts using correction fluid. 
I have done this a few times, and it works well.  It isn't as good as
not having a callout there, but
it certainly is easier.  And if you're careful, when the stuff dries,
you can write on it.  

Anyway, just a suggestion.  Use it if you like.  If you don't want to,
that's okay too.

If you do decide to remove the silkscreen, once you get it done, let us
know what you did to remove it,
and how it went.  I for one would be interested in knowing for future
reference.

Subject: [EE] How to remove pcb silk screen?

Hello,

I just had some circuit boards made and found that I managed to get some
of the silk screening wrong.  Rather than throw out the otherwise good
boards if I can remove just the lettering that is wrong they can still
be used.

Does anyone know of a good method to remove this stuff without damaging
the rest of the board?  I'm thinking nail polish remover or some other
solvent but I'm not sure what will also take off the solder mask at the
same time.

Regards,
Andy
