<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 40094, member: 51"]Brad and Greg, you guys are amazing. This is exactly what I did! After water, soap, rubbing alcohol did nothing, I got more desperate and tried bleach (yes it was a fast bleach application, maybe held it on there for 2 minutes max, saw no results and gave up.) Then as a last resort tried lacquer thinner. After everything failed, I decided to post here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg, would you use straight bleach for the soaking or mix w/water? Assuming I would only soak the top section, a few inches down at most but covering where the marker was. (Not over the transfer, right?) Only problem is that this will include the metal lid -- any worries about that soaking in bleach?</p><p><br /></p><p>Another alternative is just to leave it. I think if someone else had this they would just think that blue was some odd crazing thing or a paint smear, but the blue really sticks out for me in sort of a non-antique color, and of course every time I would look at it I'd think of that "7".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
