Removing bad ink off dolls

I just bought a inexpensive as-is Samantha off ebay and she had 4 permenent marker marks on her, one on her chin. I really shouldn't have bought her because I really can't afford her even at the price I paid but oh well, I did.

Oxy10 will take these off right? Is there a special technique for getting off these more stubborn stains?

She has no other damage and I certainly hope so. [img]frown.gif[/img]

Congrats on finding a fixer upper [img]smile.gif[/img] I bet the Oxy will do the trick, with repeated applications. Good luck! Please share pics when she is all better.

Teacher trick: Sharpie comes off of lamination with rubbing alcohol. Hairspray takes ink out of cloth, the cheaper the brand the better, aerosol is best. I'd try those as well as the Oxy. (But we careful around her face paint with the alcohol.)

Perhaps even something more industrial can help you. For example galvanizing spray or something like that can remove resin, glue, heavy oil stains. It often helped me in my workshop
