Andy, is there Braille on both sides of the pages?? If yes, it¡¯d be tricky to erase a song on one side without also erasing the song on the other side.

If the Braille is on one side of all the pages, you can take the book to the edge of a table or a hard surface, so to place only that page on it.? you can use almost any hard smooth object to ¡°rub out¡± the dots.? you can use your fingers and fingernails to do that, too.
?
If there¡¯s Braille on both sides¡ªit¡¯s interpoint¡ªthis would call for surgery.? There¡¯s an erasing ¡°pencil¡± that comes with some slate and stylus kits.? The tip of that can be used to press down one specific dot at a time.? no matter how carefully this is done, it will weaken some dots on the other side of the page.? Another way is to use your finger nails to ¡°scratch¡± the dots on one side, without the page being pressed against anything or not hard.? you¡¯re scratching those dots in the air, as it were, trying to slowly flatten them with a minimum of damage to the dots on the other side.
?
Just so you have realistic expectations, it¡¯s impossible to erase Braille dots completely.? They will still be there, no matter how flattened.? I can still read the dots, and they¡¯re probably still visible.?
?
So if those songs are clues to a crime you wish to hide, I regret to inform you it¡¯s not possible to erase those clues completely by rubbing out the dots.
?
Hope this helps!

I don¡¯t want to take the pages out. I am looking for someone that would be willing to actually flatten the Dots from the ?specific songs.?

?It is a braille book of lyrics? Can you just take the pages out? Another way to erase it is to smash it so that the bumps are not detectable

?Yes. I was potentially wondering if one here could help me with erasing ?a couple of songs from a book that I have with me that has lyrics. I don¡¯t know if I am allowed to post a request like this in a group like this. But I thought I would. If I¡¯m not allowed to post this. Then I am perfectly fine with that as well.?
I do have all of the pages where the songs are located. I also should mention that I do have autism.?
