does anyone know how to get sharpie off of plastic?
lovescream
Rofl. Aren't they supposed to be permanent because they're called 'permanent markers?' hahaha. o.o I think you have to use something special to scrub'em off real hard. Like those spray cleany stuff things.

how about windex? haha

scratch it off with your nails! or a flat tip screwdriver. lol. itll kinda damage the plastic tho...

sharpies hate me...when i don't want them to rub off they do, and when i want to get it off it stays put.

just try washing it over and over and scrubbing it with a toothbrush while it's in the soapy water... (don't scratch it with you nails if they're soaked...my nails get really soft when wet and i end up accidentally bending them back pinch.gif ouch)

I think your only bet is to scratch it off..

Take toothpaste and put it on the part you want gone. Take an old toothbrush and scrub it off with that. I'm not kidding. Toothpaste gets out everything. mellow.gif

haha

Perfume or colongne (sp?) would work! Ahahahaha! This guy thought a permanent marker was a dry erase marker and he drew on the board. The teacher yelled at him and then he sprayed cologne on the board and wiped it away and it was gone! I think it'd work!

Since it is plastic, you can use a whiteboard marker. Just scribble that area with sharpie marks on it with the whiteboard marker, then use a face tissue to wipe the whiteboard marker marks out. Most of the sharpie marks would be gone. If you want it completely gone, try the whiteboard marker several times more.

At least that works for me. Hope that helps.

Why would you use a Sharpie on plastic if you were bound to make a mistake? It's going to take awhile to get that off. You should just use Expo Markers.
