Must try that with permanent markers as they dry before your eyes. one or 2 uses & $5 to $8 in the bin.

We used to flick ball point pens to loosen the dry ink within or refresh but never thought of that method.

Try also injecting a little Methanol, Ethanol or even M.E.K. with a hypodermic syringe right through the tip. Different solvents work for different brands. You can remove difficult marker stains with WD40.

Should have read this before my Dr appt today. Could have asked him for a sharps, but then again he may have thought me greedy with having one in buttocks & one in the arm already. Must try WD40 on the marker stains. Thanks
