Why does permanent marker erase after retracing it with dry-erase?
In: 114
What dry-erase marker lays down is ink suspended in a fast-evaporating solvent. By definition, the solvent has to be able to dissolve ink. So when you write with it on top of “permanent” marker, the original “permanent” ink dissolves in this solvent too, and can then be wiped away.
