"Erasing" Grease Pencil?

zabby17 · July 30, 2012

Question about markers.

After some years of experimenting, I decided my fave tomato plant markers were Lee Valley zinc markers on which I write with grease pencil. The grease pencil writes easily, reads easily, and lasts. (Whereas "permanent" marker fades by end of season.)

BUT it lasts TOO long. I would like to re-use markers from varieties I'm not growing this year, and I can't find a good way to clean the grease pencil marking off the plate to write a new label on it.

I've tried Goo Gone, nail polish remover, detergent...

Anyone use the same or similar system and know a way?

Thanks,

Z
