Anyone know how to....

Get permanent marker off of a dry erase board? I used the wrong marker and now I've got permanent writing on my erase board. I doubt their is any way to get it off but I thought some of my fellow DISer's possess the knowledge of such things.

I'd try some Oops.

Of course there's gotta be a way, there's a way to do almost everything. I had no clue, but I did a "google" and found that you're supposed to really go over the area well with a dry erase marker and then rub it off and the permanent should go away with the dry erase marker.

If that doesn't work, I also found the suggestions of hair spray, acetone, or fingernail polish remover.

Yep, what Lynne said, Kyle.

If you accidentally use a PERMANENT marker on the whtiteboard you can remove the stain with hair spray, acetone, or fingernail polish remover; or write over the permanent marker with a dry-erase marker; wipe as usual.

Hey Kyle. Were you doing homework or writing down some girl's phone number??

When all else fails, my Mom uses vinegar on tough stains.

Good luck, Kyle....

1st try writing on top of the permanent with a dry erase and then erasing
2nd try using th dry erase/whiteboad cleaning solution
3rd try with AFTA or acetone
4th buy new whiteboard
5th keep permanent markers far away

I've had great success on the overhead projector with rubbing alcohol.

I used windex when one of my Brownies did this to my daughters white board! It worked fine. (probably the ammonia) That's been 6 months ago and you can't tell it was ever there.!

Try nail polish remover.

We've done this at work a couple of times.
