Well, this is how we remove sharpie marks from white boards. Quite simple, really (but I never would've thought of it). Use an black erasable marker and mark completely over the original mark. Then wipe it off with a towel. It might take a few tries (...) (18 years ago, 7-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)

I noticed this a long time ago, but for some reason a lot of European catalogs and set instructions in the 1970's (and later?).... seem to have holes punched at the top corner. Why is that? This is not found in USA/Canada Lego catalogs and (...) (18 years ago, 3-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)

Josh, I too think you may be in luck. Most parents don't even let their kids use superglue, because it will bond 2 fingers together as well (without melting them of course!).
