The important thing to understand here is that you shouldn't write on a latex balloon with a Sharpie. It works well for a while, but when the balloon inevitably pops or deflates, the Sharpie ink will re-liquify and get all over the place. Then you will learn the meaning of the phrase "indelible on porous surfaces".
- function_seven 2y agoEverything you just wrote has made me understand that I should write on a balloon with a Sharpie. This sounds fun. Thanks.

- Modified3019 2y agoIt should be noted, there are a variety of chemicals that will dissolve and carry away the ink from most things if you look for it. Of note, rubbing alcohol and paper towels work well. Likewise, the paint markers which I make use of are easily removed by rubbing alcohol.
- godelski 2y agoThere's a useful trick many educators know: if someone uses sharpie on your whiteboard, draw over it with another whiteboard marker and you can wipe it up like normal. Also applies to glass and some other surfaces. Essentially the same process you're mentioning but different chemicals. But always be careful with solvents. If water or isopropyl alcohol (IPA) doesn't work, you should know what you're doing/using.
