Permanent Marker on Floats

[spring fever]

In the ensueing wars between telus,shaw, and a partner going to fish the big pond in the Sky, I need to change Phone no.,names etc. etc and tidy up my prawn and crab floats. Tried acetone, bleach, goo begone. Anybody have anything that works or a suggestion to remove permanent marker? Yeah-I know that's why it's called permanent. LOL

Give deep woods off a try it works good on permanent marker. Never tried it on a float though.

Hand sanitizer (purell) worked on laminated paper. Depending on what the float is made of I guess?

No, sorry spring fever I couldn't get permanent marker off my buoys either. So, I painted over the old phone numbers using rustoeum paint in larger letters...turned out pretty good. You could go even further by painting a large, blank portion on the buoys or floats and then painting the new info on top of the blank area. Kinda of like starting over again. I watched videos, where guides just use duct tape to temporarily put on clients names on the floats. Just some suggestions.

use a vandalizim mark remover ---home depot or crappy tire should have something ----then clean it all with soapy water after before putting in the deep blue

Thanks guys for all the help-Deep woods off moved it a bit-The best was a soaked cloth in acetone-but you will never get it pristine as it is right in the material. Does fade it pretty good-depending on what marker was used-so you can mark over it. Course there is always duct tape when I have other than my usual crew on board.

I just put my name and my girlfriends name on the floats if another buddy is with me they fish her floats. Not sure if the DFO would really care as long as there are not too many traps?

You might get away with it but it is illegal! The name of the person fishing the floats is supposed to be on them. I usually just run the duct tape over the original name and put the guests name and ph no. on-then no worries.

That's what I use. Duct Tape and a magic marker. The above statement is also quite true. The name and on the float must match the name on the license of the person fishing.

Did you try Magic eraser? I find they remove most stains. At least get the darkest off and let the sun take care of the rest.
