Hi, the previous owner of my new-to-me long arm marked the leaders with permanent marker - probably a Sharpie. They're not evenly marked at the start and end of each leader so I'd like to re-mark them.

Has anyone found a way to remove permanent marker? I'm trying blotting the mark with bleach but don't really see much of a change.

Thanks,
Cathy

Try rubbing alcohol.

boy, If you can't get the marks off-try marking where you want in a different color. perhaps red. good luck.

I don't think you will get them off - I would go with the using a different color

this was my first thought also... it's certainly less expensive than making new leaders.

Sounds weird but you might try hair spray. I once washed a shirt with sharpie in pocket and got it out that way. I'd have something to blot the marks with so they don't spread.

i used the little white sponge (dampen with water).that the bald man with the earring makes. Its always worked on my cutting mats.

Try using Oxyclean or the generic version that I paid $1 at Dollar Tree.. I bought a piece of fabric that had marker all over it, and soaked it.. Came back, and the marker was gone..

91% Isopropyl alcohol. It runs a bit more expensive - around 3.00 a quart - than the run of the mill 70% but it will remove Sharpie marker.
