I'm not positive, and I would urge anyone to investigate it further, but I think I read in the other forum that the dials were made of the same type material as the Philco dials of that era, and can be safely cleaned with mineral spirits. That's what I used on the dialface of my 38-1, and to my astonishment, it didn't affect ANY of the colored lettering! I would make sure first that's the case- As always-Use no water!
