RE: Cleaning Some Games

in Hive Gaming5 months ago

Ahh that's a good one, do you think isopropyl alcohol would work to get permenant marker off a disc? There are two or three that have small scribbles on them, I was thinking of using white spirits but wasn't sure if it would damage the artwork of the disc itself.

But, true, that's on the back burner for now, but would be a good one to have on the list.

I'm delighted to have my first few items listed, I put up 5, which collectively are worth €44.50

The best way to get permanent marker off is almost certainly wipe-off marker. It's an old trick I learned in retail dealing with exactly this problem. Again, experiment first, and it definitely only works on a smooth surface. All you do is go over the permanent marker with a wipe-off one, then immediately wipe it off with a soft cloth.

I''ve never heard of this before, but I'll look it up and put that on my list too. I'll shop around a bit too, and see what's out there.

For the most part, the games are all in good nick, but the ones with marker are €20+ each, so are worth sorting out. Thanks for the advice.
