Find the carrier solvent that the marker manufacturer uses. That should remove it if you don’t wait too long. Lacquer thinner is a good try if you can’t find out. That usually cuts through a lot of stuff.

She was able to remove the marker from the top but not the sides which is her concern & why she called me. I told her the marker will have stained the wood & probably cannot be sanded out but would perhaps have to be painted over. Does anyone else have any experience with either removing marker from keysides or covering it?
