Removing marker spray

[Paul73]

So I finally got through all the hoops with the FC and the LPA and got permission for a new loading area and track. I went out and crashed about in the undergrowth with some tape measures, some pegs and a tin of marker spray. It turns out I was a bit hasty with the marker spray. Now we have cleared most of the trees and undergrowth, I can see that there is a slightly better line for a small bend that is needed in the track. I have marked the wrong trees here. Its no big deal but if I ever decide to have paying clients in for something like say Forest School, it looks a bit messy. I did it in bright pink because it was too horrible a colour to miss. 

 

Any tips for getting the spray off? Clearly not thinners but olive oil/ fairy liquid? and a stiff brush?

 

Thanks

 

Paul

Had some success with a pressure washer then overspray with colour to blend in

I've used a wire brush before with success. It also fades with time so bits that don't come off will eventually disappear.

Wire brush will do it easy

Depending on species a wire brush as previously mentioned or scape off with a sharp wood chisel I find also works or combination or the two.
