Removing Sharpy/ permanent marker.

[gocherhaz]

Hello. Looking for some help of removing permanent marker off one of the tubes that has been labelled "rescue" I want to remove it without discolouring the orange.

Many thanks

Tube material?

[gocherhaz]

Hypalon-coated Nylon

You almost certainly won't get it all off. A "wear" patch is probably the best aesthetic solution.

Try baby wipes. They get it off skin but that might be because of skin oils

[ShinyShoe]

WD40 takes it off lots of things but not sure about hypalon.

Try some acetone

Hi

You could try oxygel soap .

There are some specialist pen/marker removers which may do the trick....it's the Hyperlon that's the variable,but depending on...worth a try.
Other than that Polys suggestion (depends on size and place ect)of marks ect is the other option...you maybe able to "Ballance" the aesthetics by applying another

I think the ink will have penetrated the hypalon & permanently stained it. MEK or Acetone might work, but I think the wear patches already mentioned will be the way to go.

Whether it work on the the tube or not I don't know, but colouring over with whiteboard pen lifts permanent marker off plastic.
