I do too! I noticed after I sprayed, all the ink is on the backside. Forget the fine mist spray. I dropped the tube down the drain holding it over the kitchen sink so just sprayed the whole top left corner of the mini. We'll know soon. wml.

:-D :-D

It's soaking now in warm soapy water to get that auto shop smell out. It looked like it has worked. I only saw 4 small areas that need to come out and then it is fixed!!! Another dousing will do it I am sure. As soon as it dries, we'll try again. :-D :-D :-D Yes!! :-D

I found them once at Wal Mart, but can't fine them there anymore. Any kind of heat works, can you use a blow dryer too. I use a little craft iron. They come in these colors: blue, black, orange, and pink, no white. Your quilt is really pretty, I hope you have better luck than I did.
Thank you so much, Willie Mae! This is really a good thing to know about Frixion! Nice colors too that are available!! So far, the WD-40 has done good. It's so windy today, the mini is almost dry (soaked in WD40) and it looks good. There's just about 4 more little places to redo and it'll be fine.
:D :D

i use fineline blue pens with great success. you can get water removable and air removable which disappears in (i forget how many) a few hours.
Thank you, misseva, for that link!! That sounds great at this point! :oops: ;-) :roll: :lol:

I've used that stuff with great success! But I've never tried it on ink on fabric. Good luck!!

You would think so!!! I forgot that I had tried Dawn detergent in the beginning and that didn't do it. Tide didn't do it. Borax didn't do it. I can always give it a douse now of water repellant in addition to now being stain-free it will be frost-proof! All the ink that had been blown to the back of it is now gone!! I just noticed while it was on the line, so WD-40 is our man!! Thank you, dsj!!!

:-D :-D
