The Marking Remover Pen is excellent for removing those tough markings:D

I have always used non-acetone nail polish remover. Last batch I used cost pennys compared to other chemicals and works great. With no problems.:)

I used to use that, but Chris got me to try his OMS Ink Remover.

It is like 20 years ago thinking that a Commodore 64 was a great computer, but now looking at these ones we see the difference.

I was using All-off. Once, on a drill mount in poly, the drill hole cracked right before my eyes when All-off touched it. I don't use the stuff anymore.
Also, I found that Citri-Strip type products can strip off some hard-coatings.

All off is poly safe and biodegradable

We process approximately 1200 jobs a day at 60% poly....we use all-off all day long and had never had a problem

It's great! Highly effective and safe for all situations.

I don't think I want to stand there cooking a lens just so I can clean it. What affect might that have on a A/R lens?

I wonder what marker solvent companies like Essilor and Hoya use in their own labs? Perhaps Mr. Hanlin can tell us for Essilor.

I agree. I love The Marking Remover Pen. Best investment I have made in a long time!

I have found that Citri-strip works the best, found in the paint isle at any store. it doesnt smell NEARLY as bad and disolves markings very quickly, even those really thick Ziess Gradal markings with the THICK ring at the reading power. :idea:

I use alcohol on a q-tip then if that doesn't cut it I use goo gone.
Never had it affect anything , coatings etc. and the smell is like citrus.
Used it by accident mixing up q tips when taking off sticky tag glue. Works instantly. Anyone else accidentally try it on markings?

I go straight into a visual migraine w/acetone smells and therefore my jobs are limited since nobody in the workplace cares about chemical sensitivity.
Most labs I have worked in have zero windows for ventilation.

I actually prefer marks away from stormin norman, it's not terrible smelling and it's pretty effective on anything I've gotten so far. I do let it sit for a few minutes for the tough marks but mostly it takes them off in about 15 seconds.
