you need denatured alcohol, most other types of alcohols wont do it

ok, trust me on this, it works PERFECT!
1. Buy Clear Kote Spray Paint
2. Have the paint and an old rag ready.
3. Spray the paint about an inch from the board.
4. Quickly, wipe it around the sharpie until it comes off.
5. Reapeat until its all gone.

is Isopropyl alcohol like a girly version of denatured alcohol or something, because thats what i used. Would wax remover work?

isopropyl is the lite beer version
you might try any ONE of the following
Denatured or Wood Alcohol
Lighter fluid
"goof off"
DO NOT mix these and don't try one right after the other wait at least a day in between
