If you mean the marking blue, I use IsoPropyl Alcohol ( IPA ). You can get it from Maplin in a spray can.

You won't need much - even the small can will go a long way.
Spray on and wipe off with tissue, paper towel, etc. Also works spraying some on the tissue, then wiping.
You can also use it to "re-wet" the blue that hardens on the brush.
Emery cloth will mark the surface. IPA and tissue won't. :thumbup:
IPA will also remove "Sharpie" ink...

Well No1_sonuk .. you must be flush with cash to use Maplin £7.49 for 400ml :bugeye:
Little wonder they have it 'in stock', as far as I'm concerned, they can keep it there.

Or a bit less from above.. needs 15% vat on it tho .. P&P requirements about same
As an aside, knowing their prices, do anyone use Maplin now? I stopped about 12 yrs ago.

Dave,
:offtopic: I occasionally use maplin for bits and pieces. Just because they have a shop you can go into, and for resisters and stuff it makes little difference whether it's 3 p or 30p if you're just getting 1 or 2! The last things I got were a few ceramic resisters to replace the wire wound ones in the wifes heater fan controls. Also, I bought a timer circuit kit for about £8 which I wired through relays and all the rest of it to keep the anti perc fan switched on for a set time after I switched engine off on Renault 5 turbo! It worked a treat and it was great fun soldering the circuit together and getting it to work .. took me back to my youth!
I know what you mean though, my dad used to be a technology teacher and they always used rapid electronics. Remember one of my christmas presents about 15 years ago when I was 14 was one of those sets of little drawers full of electronic components from Rapid electronics along with a few bits of strip board! Was one of the best presents ever! Still got most of it in the same little drawers! Had a few hobbies down the years!
