<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 609280, member: 8267"]I agree with [USER=45]@Taupou[/USER] that felt pen is nearly impossible. But I use "odorless" mineral spirits (white spirits for you Brits) to remove sticky tags from books as well as other surfaces. A couple drops on the tag, let it sit for a minute or so, and then lift the tag off with a small spatula or dull scalpel. The remaining residue I swab off with a Q-tip moistened with more mineral spirits, then dry with another swab. It will temporarily penetrate and darken porous surfaces, but <i>usually</i> evaporates without leaving any stain. It is cheaper than the other adhesive removers (I go through a lot), but it must be the odorless kind. The regular kind will leave a smell for quite awhile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
