hi any suggestions on how to remove permanent marker form vinyl dolls

Nip into a £stretcher shop or a £land shop and purchase a CD cleaner kit.
Init you will find a small bottle of Isopropanol (wood alcohol). Pour a drop
onto a cloth and wipe over gently a few times and it should be removed.

You could go to a chemist and ask the Pharmacist for a bottle but they will
charge you about £6 for 500ml.

This stuff has many uses. When all else fails, give this a try. I had some
marks on the front wing and no matter how many times I washed it, they would
not come off. Gave it a few light rubs with a cloth with Isopropanol on and
bingo, like new now.

Hope that helps

By the way. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN and don't drink it, you'll go
blind.

Small point is that wood alcohol is the U.S. name for methylated
spirits. Isopropanol, aka Isopropyl Alcohol is something else, but I
agree that this should work.

Meths certainly has that effect because of the organic impurities, I'm
not sure about Isopropanol, but not to be taken anyway.

Of course there are other things that one should tell children not to
do in case they go blind.

Xylene is the solvent commonly used in permanent pens, acetone sometimes
but not always does the trick.

IIRC nail polish remover consists mainly of xylene, you could give that a
try but I have no idea what it would do to the plastic doll. "Test on an
inconspicuous area" is the advice usually given in such circumstances I
believe...

Nail polish remover is mainly acetone. Xylene is now thought to be
carcinogenic, hence all the marker pens saying "xylene free".

Meths is the best thing.

It is a very useful household solvent - so useful that I buy mine from a
chemical suppliet, at £35/10litres (4 winchesters).

Wood alcohol is methanol. Methanol is not isopropyl aclcohol.

Pour
a drop
onto a cloth and wipe over gently a few times and it should be removed.

You can also try going over the top of the ink with the same pen and then
rubbing with a tissue quickly afterwards, while the ink is still wet. This
is how kids at my school were made to remove the marker from tables and
other graffitied objects.

Of course there are other things that one should tell children not to

Methylated spirits is ethanol deliberately adulterated with methanol to make
it undrinkable. Methanol attacks the optic nerve causing blindness.
Isopropanol doesn't do this. I think it has similar effects to ethanol but
longer lasting, not a good idea to drink it though I think. Interestingly
one of the treatments of methanol poisoning is deliberate dosing with
ethanol - about the only time getting ****ed will save your life.

You can drink IPA, not to be recommended, but it won't kill you

I thought most of them know before you get round to telling them

It's about £4 / litre

Again, that's methanol, not IPA

bung them in the fire and get a new one. My doll from the 70's still has
ordinary marker deeply ingrained, let alone permanent marker. My mother
being of the war era won't throw it out and now my kids play happily with
the creepy thing.

I've seen this done on whiteboards where someone has used a permanent
marker by mistake - just write over with a non-permanent marker and wipe
off.

"Organic impurities?? What are those, then?

I like a few pints, myself... however, no, a bit of isopropyl
alcohol won't hurt... in fact about 25 years ago, the cops used
to calibrate their brethalysers against this, so to have a bit
in your system, for one person, anyway, produced an interesting
result (and finding).

Lots of solvents will do this, isopropyl alcohol, methylated spirits,
nail-varnish remover (acetone), although *may* also mark the plastic. Using
the proper precautions, maybe petroleum, turpentine, xylene. When I was
studying chemistry at uni, we had loads of solvents that would
dissolve/clean practically anything. Some of them were pretty nasty though.
I remember having to remove a polymer experiment that went wrong "brown
gunk" from some equipment using N-N-dimethylformamide. Now that's nasty
stuff. Whiffs quite a bit, i'd say.
