I just ran into this thread...it was a roller-coaster ride!
A lot of good technical discussion, a couple of left/right turns, but impressive description of problem, follow-up, redirect and advice.
What an awesome community to be a part of.

Hope it comes back fine and that you are back in business with it soon enough.

Agreed. Oh, and to those who aren't artists, which I guess is most, the Sharpie that was shown is SO not the kind of Sharpie I'm familiar with it isn't even funny. (And that from a cartoonist!). If it'd been referred to as a "magic marker" I'd have understood what was being spoken of.

I guess it's a bit like calling a vacuum cleaner a Hoover. In Australia they seem to be called texters. In the UK we called them magic markers.

In the US I've always called them magic markers ...

Yup...magic markers for me as well.....

Permanent marker seems to be most popular, shortened to perm marker most of the time..

Viltstift for me. Vilt is felt, stift... don't know.
