Hi,

   Or, you might try (... wait for it ...): mosquito repellent.

   I'm serious.  I found out the hard way, a few years ago.
   I had just sprayed myself with an aerosol of the stuff,
   my fingers were still a little damp, I picked up my camcorder,
   and all of the writing that I touched just melted off.
   The plastic underneath was unaffected.

   Maybe the mosquito repellent had acetone, I don't know.
