White proof mark highlighter

[John D.]

You can also try a grease stick sold at your auto parts store.. For the life of me - I never found a China Marker in White (I found Black, Red, Green, etc, though:-) - but probably the same thing is a white "grease based" marker sold at your local auto store for marking tires.


Also, when you apply it - rub it "gently" with a piece of paper from a high-gloss magazine - it will leave the white markings in the depressions of the proof and remove it from the non-marked areas.


For removing Laquer Stick - cut a "Splinter" from a piece of hardwood or get a toothpick (not as good as a splinter - but it works.). Apply some WD-40 to a rag - and then wipe the area that the paint was applied - and keep that area wet for about 2-3 minutes with the WD-40. Next, take the splinter/toothpick and remove the laquer (i.e. "dig it out"). As Bill said later in this thread - digging out someone else's "paint job" with a stick is a horrendous task...


HTH....
