ink stain.

Apologies if it's the wrong section. But can ayone give me a remedy for getting
an ink stain off a pair of plastic lens glasses?

[Old_Geezer]

I don't claim to know but I'd have thought you'd need something spirit based such as white spirit ? But I guess that might depend on the type of ink. Certainly I'd try that but I take no responsibility if the plastic melts into a puddle on contact ;-)

- not sure if it helps (or indeed if the link works) but googled in 'how to remove ink stains from plastic and got a good few suggestions

[cupid04]

Thankyou everyone. I shall get googling once I've had my dinner!

Ballpoint ink is usually easy to remove with alcohol as a solvent. If you have methylated spirit, neat vodka or even de-icer - should work and not harm the lens.
