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. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Isopropanol, aka Isopropyl Alcohol is something else, but I agree that this should work. Pour a drop onto a cloth and wipe over gently a few times and it should be removed.

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. -- Tim Mitchell |

This is how kids at my school were made to remove the marker from tables and other graffitied objects. |

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. 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. Sam --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

wrote in message news:1GQ0c.2489$zu.660@newsfe1-win... hi any suggestions on how to remove permanent marker form vinyl dolls 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.

What are those, then? I'm not sure about Isopropanol, but not to be taken anyway. You can drink IPA, not to be recommended, but it won't kill you 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).

wrote in message news:1GQ0c.2489$zu.660@newsfe1-win... hi any suggestions on how to remove permanent marker form vinyl dolls 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. Marcus |
