I need to remove magic marker from my Mono-kote. Any ideas on the best way?

How about another color Mono-kote? I have some spots on my model that smudged from the iron. How can I get that off?

Thanks for any help.

70% - 90% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) should remove the marker.

Try Goof-off. You can get it at Lowes or Home depot. Works great for me.

Use acetone on a q-tip or paper towel. Then remove any acetone smear with windex, alcohol, or the similar glass cleaning solution. I do this a lot when I mark and cut out designs in Ultracote(or heaven forbid, monokote). It works well.

Alcohol was mentioned above. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, depending on the marker. Try it first, if it doesn't work well, then use the acetone.

100% guarantee to remove both magic marker and any covering residue - Trim Solvent or Ironex. Either will do it.

Next time, use Dry Erase markers.

Depending on the marker, either denatured alcohol or acetone. I keep both around. The acetone will also dissolve the old Monokote adhesive, CA accidents and other messes. The only down side to the acetone is that it can loosen the Monokote seams if you get too much on the airplane and it goes where you don't want it to.

Alcohol worked, thanks. Have yet to try the acetone (nail polish remover) yet on the CA.

I have found MonoKote Trim Solvent works great for removing paint, magic marker, etc. from film covering. It doesn't leave any discoloration on the covering. Just put a very little on a paper towel and wipe the spot.

I always keep trim solvent around to clean up Monocote seams. Plus my iron has a little residue on it most of the time.

Monokote trim solvent ain't cheep, therefore I keep some in a small squirt bottle like what ya get with CA accelerator. That way you have control over how much you use and it will last a long time. When I'm done with a covering job I wipe the model all down with trim solvent. This cleans up any residue, magic marker lines and seals the seams down. If ya get CA somewhere you don't want it, trim solvent will clean it up as long as you get to it before it goes off. It's expensive, but very good stuff, I keep some on hand at all times and I don't even use Monokote.
