You can often revive dried-out markers, allowing you to reuse them instead of throwing them away. A common method involves rehydrating the tip or reservoir with a suitable liquid.
Reviving Dried Markers with Alcohol
One recommended method for fixing dried markers, as seen in the provided reference, involves using alcohol.
Here's how you can apply this technique:
- Prepare: Take a cup.
- Place the marker: Put the marker inside the cup.
- Add Liquid: Fill the cup up with some alcohol.
- Wait: Let the marker sit in the alcohol. The reference suggests letting the marker "let that marker" soak, implying a period of time is needed for the alcohol to absorb into the tip and potentially the reservoir, rehydrating the dried ink.
This process helps to dissolve the dried pigments and allows the ink to flow again.
