Is your permanent marker all dried up?
It happens if you forget to put the cap back on after using it.
But no need to buy another one right away!
There is a simple trick to give a second life to a dry marker.
The trick is to soak it with 90° alcohol for a few seconds. Watch:
1. Pour a little 90° alcohol into a small container.
2. Remove the permanent marker cap.
3. Dip the tip of the marker in the container for 15 seconds.
4. Replace the cap.
5. Leave the marker upright for 1-2 hours.
There you go, you've given your marker a second life! It is like new :-)
No need to buy another one! If you don't have 90% alcohol, you can find it here.
You can start over if the marker is still having trouble writing.
As soon as you see ink appear in the container, the marker is working again.
