Just a question for you guys: Have any of you had a signed object, such as gloves, and successfully removed the autograph from them? If so, how'd you do it?

Thanks!

I've removed sharpie from tufftek using Amodex. They sell it at places like Staples, its designed to remove permanent marker from fabric. I worked it into the sharpie with a tooth brush and then let it set over night, then put the gloves in the washing machine. I repeated 2-3 times, and it was gone.

Goo Gone supposedly eats through the plastics underneath. Did you have that problem?

Thanks Ryan, I may try that! Any discoloring of the fabric while doing the process?

I always do a test on a spot you can't see, but I haven't had any problems on the 2 pairs I have done.

I haven't tried it, but maybe the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? I know it takes puck marks off gloves and goalie pads...not sure how it'll work against permanent marker, but they're only a dollar or two, so it's shouldn't break the bank if they don't work.

That may work too!

I just am afraid that some of the products that would seem to be obvious solutions will damage the color or foams. Ive been told that goo gone/goof off does damage it, so I'm happy I didn't go with my first instinct and go with it.
