I just wrapped a rod and used a china marker to mark the guide positions. I have tried both alcohol and acetone but I can't get the china marker residue off the blank. Any suggestions? Re: Help needed removing china marker residue

Hi Paul: Not that this will help with the current problem, but I use a gel pen to mark locations, which rubs off very easily when changing the positions. I'm surprised that the alcohol didn't work. I'm sure that you'll get the answer you're looking for. Best regards, Pat Doyle China Marker

I have noticed that the china marker doesn't rub off too well with the thinners and other liquids, but a friction source works best. I usually rub it off with my finger if it's in an open area, or use a tissue or rag with a pen inside to make a fine point if i need to get into a tight space. Another tip is to use a black china marker for your more obvious marks. This will allow you to see your marks if you look at a different angle, but wont ruin the wrap if you don't get some of it off like the yellow might do. Good luck. Joel Goyette Re: China Marker

If your blank is smooth (gloss finish) take a peice of thread and shoeshine it over the china marker and it will come right off. Re: China Marker

I have never encountered problems with acetone on the tip of a cotton swab. The swab allows you to get under guides and apply some pressure, and the marker lifts right off of both matte and glossy blanks. Perhaps you should switch brands of china marker. Also, how long have the china marks been sitting on your blank? I don't know what the stuff is made of, but time may be a factor here. If worst comes to worst, you can paint the rod white (just joking, of course). Good luck, Charles DeGroot Re: China Marker

Hmmm - I have not had that problem with china marker - I just make a small mark with it - then after i finish the wraps, I just take a small toothpickand wrap kleenex around it and remove the china marker mark - Just dry - no solvents,etc. Re: China Marker

A pencil eraser will sometimes remove them easily. ................. Re: China Marker

Lacquer thinner on a cotton swab has always worked for me. I keep a small plastic bottle to use as a degreasing agent prior to writing my inscriptions on the rod, and for cleaning brushes. Greg Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
