I’ve started doing the same thing and it’s a lot of fun 📏

      • Or just cut out the middleman and use isopropyl alcohol, which is what you’re doing with the marker anyway, but without adding the extra ink.

        Basically the same stuff as that whiteboard cleaning fluid.

          This. Also methanol, but I’d much rather use isopropanol. I know higher proof (>70 %/140 proof) ethanol also works.

          But isopropyl is the best/easiest. Just don’t drink it…or methanol at that.

          Also anhydrous ethanol ~99 % ethanol, as it contains benzene or other things you don’t want to consume.

      I was with a friend at Home Depot and I asked if he thought a piece of wood I was holding was a foot long.

      Friend: Let me just whip it out real fast.

      Me: What are you going to do? Measure it 12 times?

      That was 20 years ago and we still laugh about it today.

      eh. just leave it. Tell anyone that asked that you found the tape measure, and what kind of man would throw away a free tape measure.
