Terry, I just removed some on one of my rods and I used denatured alcohol and a rag, but I have rubbed it off with just my finger

DNA should do it Terry. I would hesitate to suggest Acetone not knowing what it would do to the blank

White china marker rubs off easily. No solvent or cleaner needed.

Believe it or not, a little WD40 on a paper towel works wonders

you are right Rusty, I forgot all about WD40, it will take magic marker off and just about anything.

good thinking
