Instead it went directly to Encore like this is going directly to you. Would you be so kind as to forward this for me because I do not have that email readily accessible so easily and tell them this... Harry Buyce was one of my mentors.. And that stuff works very well that he speaks of. However it must be used very sparingly! It does not take very much to remove the magic marker from the key. A little dab will do ya... Remember that.... If you use do not use it correctly with the mindset that a lot is better, it will melt the key top a bit so, always use it sparingly! I still use it, but as I said, a very small amount!!! Harry gave me some way back then to use for free. I love it! Thanks!

Harry Buyce, in 2004, suggested the following: "I have discovered a process that will remove the marker ink and will not damage the plastic keys. It is called Aero Brand #1250 Ink Reactivator, manufactured by Specialty Ink Co., Deer Park, NY. You can find this product at a large rubber stamp company that wholesales to other dealers, or find it online. You wet a cloth with this solution and wipe the key. The black will just disappear... I have not tried it but if it works, it would be much easier than the methods recently put forward on the list. Jim McCormac RPT, San Diego</div>
