A pen exploded in the dryer! How do I get the ink off? I tried using paint thinner to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions?
sounds like ur screwed dude, cleach would get it out...but then you'd mess up your clothes more (unless you had whites in the dryer).. sorry man
Actually, after two hours of hard labor and hard laughs caused by paint thinner, I was able to get it off. I biked to Wal Mart and bought a more powerful paint thinner, then I used a lot of "elbow grease". I had a load of dark laundry in the dryer with a black pen. To my suprise, the paint thinner caused the ink to turn purple. But I had already unloaded my clothes before applying the paint thinner. This reminds me of the time I was boiling my strings, and I forgot about them, and I left them in overnight. I found them very rusted when I remebered them the next morning .
