As a chef I know how to fix it when somebody uses sharpie on a dry erase board...alcohol.
So, by bumming a few tissues and some hand sanitizer from the lovely people on my 1 train, I turned this and a half dozen other scrawls..
Into this.
In two minutes. Works on any non absorbent surface including coated paper (why destroy the poetry posters when I can fix them?)
Fight on.

(15,543 posts)The hate must be wiped clean. Or it proliferates, saturating and poisoning consciousness. Which is apparently what the Republicans and their base of alt.I.hate.everything.because.my.soul.is.so.shrunken role-model thug clusters want to do to Americans who live their lives with dignity and honor..
It's a fundamental act of patriotic nobility to wipe hate graffiti clean.

Congrats! This is great info! It just so happens I always have hand sanitizer in my purse and my car. Pinecone collecting, y'know. That alcohol-based hand stuff also works very nicely to take sticky sap off your fingers.

(80,693 posts)You gave people all over America (and beyond) a great idea for how to get rid of nuisance graffiti and other such eyesores. Not to mention how you gave people something positive and uplifting to think about as well as to do.

(7,813 posts)If you have an actual dry-erase marker, sort of scribble over the writing made in permanent marker with your dry-erase marker, and then wipe it away -- it should now all wipe off easily!
