Subject: Removing permanent marker from acrylic paint
Does anyone have any suggestions for removing red permanent marker from an acrylic painting? We have tried various solvents including mineral spirit, toluene, alcohols and acetone alone and in combination. Thus far, everything that dissolves the marker also affects the acrylic paint. We made up test panels to try and fade the marker under intense light and we have tried a dry cleaning method with eraser. So far nothing seems to work.
