Hi all,

Has anyone got any tips on how to remove permanent marker from (smooth) red
bricks? Unfortunately some local miscreants have decided that the world
outside my front wall needs to know that '**** was here 2005'.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated to help calm my (currently raging)
annoyance.

Sincere thanks,

R

Just wondering whether or not the ink would be dissolved by acetone?

I have always found that hairspray works well on marker pens, I used to
use the V05 pump spray, think it was called mega spray or something.

Grind the scull of the ****er who did it into the pen mark until they
fall limp.

Then come back and we'll tell you how to remove the blood stains.

Yeah, they really hate it when you break their boats.

I once had some random obscene (deriding policemen, nothing at all to do with me) graffiti
sprayed on my side wall (which is also smooth red bricks) in silver spray paint.I rang my
local Council & they advised me of a free Graffiti Buster service they provide & it was
sorted 2 days later. I never saw what they did, but I believe it may have been `jetted`
off the wall, but I could be wrong. May be worth a try.. Having said that, its generally
only if its obscene or racist remarks, but again, it might be worth a go..

They probably use graffiti removal spray. I had some graffiti at the
local school and the spray I have did not do the job too quickly, so I
called in the County lads and they used their graffiti remover and got
rid of the lot.

As you say, I would approach the local council and see if they can help
remove any marker pen inks that have been used on the wall.

Ethanol/alcohol will certainly remove the ink. I guess it depends on how
much the ink has penetrated into the brick + whether you can dab it out.
