Title: Removing pen from dolls face
Post by: vixen00 on Saturday 06 September 2014, 06:16 am

What's the best way to do this? The doll I speak of is the Glow worm, tiny bit of old ink on its face. It has faded since I've used oxy (10%) benzoyl acne cream still using this, metho, eucalyptus, alcohol...

Any other suggestions appreciated.

I use acetone (nail polish remover) to remove ink marks, especially if they aren't near painted on features.

It may not work though, depending on how long the ink's been there.

Good luck!

I was concerned about using acetone but I'll try anything... Even tried WD-40 and hairspray :) didn't work
I will try this tomorrow :) a tiny bit...

Sun is the only thing that I've found that works on old ink marks. I use painters tape and cover everything but a small area around the mark I want gone. It can take awhile but it works!
