jonathanhill Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 PAL Clean will normally get rid of paint pen. Be careful if you are using it on some plastics, as it can melt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart91 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 IPA solvent might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'm not familiar with those particular pens but, I've had success with some pen inks using high nitro model aircraft fuel. Wear gloves it's mostly methanol, but the nitromethane is a fabulous solvent for inks (it's unavailable any other way!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 You can often get rig of 'permanent' inks by covering them with fresh ink and then quickly wiping everything off with a cloth. The solvent in the new ink breaks down the old ink. It works with Sharpies and might work with your paint pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenEdwards Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 What material is it on? Ruberised 15a plugs and sockets. Just to reiterate is water based. Most of the stuff that has been mentioned seems to be alcohol/methanol based. Like the using the pen as a solvent idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImagineerTom Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 on a completely flat smooth surface they will just wipe off with a damp cloth - on anything else I think you're going to need some sort of textured cleaning gadget (toothbrush, scrubbing brush, etc) and a mild solvent or surficant to actually lift the material out.
