[Nhcoll-l] Marker on bone

[Gali Beiner]

Dear NHColl-listers,

I'm having the bad luck of having to remove an old number written directly
onto the many bones of an entire skeleton with a black marker, which is
proving to be far too permanent. Those of you familiar with such tasks
won't be surprised to hear that the only thing with any effect at all is
ethanol, but that even so the number is still very much there. I'm hoping
maybe people here have some tricks up their sleeve that I haven't tried yet
in effort to remove the marker off the bones. Suggestions, anyone?

Best wishes,

Gali
