Hi

I'm sure there was a post on this a while ago, but I can't for the life of me find it.

Does anyone know how I can get either felt tip or biro ink of a doll?

I am going crazy here and the poor doll is probably going to fall apart with all the differant chemicals I have tried.

Thanks in advance.

    Try hair spray. Spray on, wipe off.

    Otherwise, check the MEGA Index from our Indexed Collections sticky and look for other biro disasters.

    I've had good success with nail varnish remover on a cotton wool pad in these circumstances

    Have you tried bleach?

    Thanks for your replies, but nothing has worked yet.

    I have just read that Oxy10, the spot cream will work if I place some of it on the doll and then place it under a lamp for a minimum of 2 hours?

    Apparantly the benzoyl peroxide (10%) is the secret here, also something else along these lines containing salicylic acid (2 %).

    I will try both nail varnish remover and bleach as I have no acne products :(

    Just waiting to see if shaving foam works???????

    Usually though, I don't have much luck with these, I always manage to strip a layer of paint off, and totally ruin things.

    Good Morning!:)
    Has anyone got any tips about getting biro off of a 'Baby Annabel's' face?
    I've tried Cif, bleach and Stardrops but it hasn't even faded!
    All suggestions gratefully received.
