Can brasso remove permanent marker stain?

Question

At my jobsite one table has a very bad permanent marker on it's plexiglass. i don't know if brasso can help remove that stain.

Answer 1

This might sound a bit crazy, but try a whiteboard marker pen.  When permanent markers are used on whiteboards, writing over it with a whiteboard pen, (which uses water-basked ink), breaks down the ink of the permanent marker and the residue can be easily wiped away.  I'm a teacher and I've seen this done many times!  A whiteboard surface is much like a plexi-glass surface, so it is quite possible it will have the same effect.

I've never heard of brasso being used to remove ink, so I couldn't really comment on its effectiveness.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Try hairspray on a rag. This works well on hard non-porous surfaces.

Answer 3

Brasso will leave the plexiglass badly scratched since it contains an abrasive. You can try nail polish remover (acetone), but that might leave the plexiglass clouded.

Answer 4

try arm and hammer magic erasers....   it really is magic.

Answer 5

use Bestine..  its made for plexiglass.  it will rinse it right off and not hurt the plexi.

I only use permanent markers because its so easy to remove.

You can also use a fast evaporating lacquer thinner as long as it wasn't flamed.   Ex. would be bullet resistant glass that is used in banks,  credit unions  party stores.

Answer 6

Try alcohol or non-acetone nail polish remover. Even the magic sponges are impregnated with a microscopic abrasive, so be careful with those.
