scourers which they would not do before. There are still very faint marks
where the writing was but you have to look very closely to see it. The
bricks in question were mostly 2x8 yellow slopes and the writing was on the
slope itself, and this is a slight matt surface compared with more gloss
surface of the side of a brick, so I was not too worried about scuff marks
from the pot scourer.

Interesting... my experiments with removing LEGO printing from slopes, using
brasso, an old T-shirt and a lot of elbow grease, completely removed the
texture from the sloping brick.  Maybe you could use a coarser abrasive on
normal bricks, and then polish it smooth with Brasso. I've got a few marking
pen bricks from my (first) childhood... it might be worth a try.

Cheers
