Default Preserving an autograph?
... On my gas tank. It's in Sharpie. Any ideas? I'm at a loss.


Thanks.

Thought about that, but I won't be able to de-glaze the tank for adhesion. I'm wondering if some really hard, low solvent wax would help it.

Not really. I've lost a few on other things over the years.

any oil like wd-40 will take it right off

also the guys on the construction site know if they want to write anything that is not easily erased in the porto-johns, they use pencil.....if hey use sharpie, when the guy cleans the blue room and sprays it down with that blue water, the sharpie comes right off.
