    Okay, so, back in november, I was given a rainbow wristband, but on it in white it reads "Jesus Christ Superstar" I'm not an atheist, however, I would like to you know, not have that on there, I've tried turning it inside out but that thing always flips back....
    It's like printed on there, I can feel where the letters are slightly raised where the paint on it is.

    I posted this here because there's no other section for this lol

    Its not ENTIRELY rainbow, like stripes and everything, it just has rainbow colors on it in random splotches with another small part of white.

    If it's paint, then Turpentine (White Spirit)

    Paint thinner, or is that the same as turpentine?

    It's most likely screen printing ink. Acetone (nail polish remover) would probably be your best bet. But be careful, as the acetone (or turpentine, or whatever) may also cause the ink in the rainbow to run.

    heh, i would just get a new one.

    i'm in sort of a similar situation, i can't fix it. i'm a gay atheist, but my first name is CHRISTIAN. imagine how much that must suck. you can get a new wristband, but you can't change your name (easily)
