I have discovered how to efforlessly remove the "cutting text" off of conservation glass. I am probably not the first to discover it, but I've not seen it mentioned here and I can't explain how happy I was to find this! Simply use a Prismacolor colorless blender marker! It's instant and takes no effort. Over time the ink will build up on the marker tip, but it still works. just clean off any residue with your normal glass cleaner.

They are a Berol Prismacolor marker with no color in it... just the solvent. Any decent art material store that carries Berol markers should have it. They were developed for blending Prismacolor markers and giving Prismacolor pencils a wash effect. You can also create custom marker colors by dabbing regular markers on glass and picking up color.

I haven't tried it and have a bunch of the Colorless Blenders laying around. Probably easier than what I've been doing... dapping a cloth into acetone and wiping the writing away.
 
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!
 :thumbsup:

At first i thought the thread title ment how to get the tru~vue stickers w/instuctions out of the box without cutting them in half! :faintthud: :D I do that ALL THE TIME!!!!!! :nuts:
 
This should be better than what I've done. Squirt a bit of lighter fluid on and rub like heck. Your way sounds so much easier.
 
I've been using UnDu, there goes another excuse to wave the bottle under my nose .... <sigh>

Dave we have been selling them since 1984-85 when they came out....remember that?You! I know you! You probably remember the short squatty refillable glass bottle "Magic Marker" (actually a brand name) that sold for $.85 (about 1974-76)
By the way old man The "Berol" is no longer a brand name. LOL
Newell Corp. bought them & changed everything to the brand name Prismacolor.

I stopped in Miskawaska on the way to Chicago for gas last week end. If it had not been midnight I would have called you.. to drive down & meet me.

Off topic a bit but this thread has pretty much expired anyway...

When the squat bottle Magic Markers first came out ...actually in the 60's... they were sold door to door like Avon products. My dad approached them several times thinking that they would be a great product for art material stores only to be continually rebuffed. Finally in the late 60's they listened and we became the first dealer in the country for Magic Marker Corporation.

Eventually we carried Magic Markers, Berol Prismacolor, Mecanorma markers, Pantone/Letraset, Eberhard-Faber Design markers, Chartpak and a few others that escape me along with a myriad of other pen marker lines.

Wish I had a nickle for every dry marker we threw in the dumpster over the years!

Question for you Jim...

Is the NAMTA Show one big Newell booth yet???

:D

Nothing's easier then the fingernail polish remover... no muss no fuss no effort... slides right off. And with enough the fumes can give a lovely buzz.
 
So in another lifetime, would you guys be the butterflies whose life goals are to be caught and thrown in a jar with a soaked cotton ball? What's that, the opposite of playing hard to get? :p
