I figured out how to deal with water stains and other stains on wallboard t hat insist on bleeding through the next paint coat when painting interior a reas. Get your heat gun or hair dryer handy. Paint over the stain. Dry i t immediately with the heat gun/hair dryer. Paint drys before the stain ha s a chance to bleed through.
Or invest in a product designed for that use , such as Kilz or Zinnser Bullseye primer . Because that stain is eventually going to bleed thru - seen it too many times to trust anything but a product designed to block stains .

Some spray varnish matte finish will cover nicely without having any clean- up worries. Works every time
goof off or goo gone removes markers
Then you might have to deal with peeling or blistering because the suface dries too fast and solvent/water is trapped under the film; same reason instructions usually advise not to paint in hot direct sunlight.
Water or oil base isn't usually the answer for stain blocking; it is use of STAIN BLOCKING PRIMERS and the label will describe that feature. Most mention tannin, from oily wood like redwood and cedar. There are other stains, and coca-cola does weird stuff to new paint :o)
I used goo gone to remove permanent marker from our white plastic mail box....left not a trace of marker and didn't soften or dull the plastic. Amazing!

Ok, don't try it then.
Goo Gone is good stuff. Fingernail Polish Remover may also work for markers.

a lifetime friends husband had just painted their new room addition, her 3 year old son walked around the room with markers....
i happended to stop and she was going nuts trying to clean off the markers.

she gives bottles of this for every baby shower.
i use it for removing stuff from the machines i repair for a livng.
mostly compeitors tags on machines. i put mine on:)
I learned hot drying over 30 years ago. Sometimes just to speed enamel panels. I've also hair dried basement walls, with some water infiltration. Just yesterday drying leaking chimney off upper story. Eventually I got to do something about the situation. Got chimney with no liner. Furnace and hot water heater go up one shaft. The other chimney is sealed. Probably had up to 6 shafts at one time.

I have used your way for the problem and i got better results with this technique. I have once more problem of gutter leakage! Can you provide the solution for the gutter leaks? I am waiting for the reply. Thanks
echnique. I have once more problem of gutter leakage! Can you provide the s olution for the gutter leaks? I am waiting for the reply. Thanks
I've had pretty good luck with that "as seen on tv" spray flex seal sprayed inside the gutter where it's leaking. Important to really clean the insid e of the gutter with soap and water and let it dry before spraying. Don't know how long it will last though.
