got an old marker, still good will use.

putting duct tape on it once its clean so fingerprints you know.

How can I take them off, Noctoman? You seem like you would know.

Thanks in advance!

I would assume sort of caustic chemical wipe down, rubbing alcohol, bleach, ammonia. Just you know, not at the same time.

Another good idea is rubber gloves. It used to be weird to see people wearing masks and rubber gloves, now it's not weird at all.

Rubber gloves are actually a bad idea because after like 40 seconds the heat from your hands causes them to show partial and sometimes full fingerprints.

Yeah, I don't know what it is exactly, and like I said they aren't like super defined.

You can use leather gloves if you plan on throwing them out later.

I think I will use gardening gloves, since I have a lot - would that work?

But just for cleaning the rubbing alchohol should work.

Going to the dollar tree again on sat/sun so ill see if they have any.

Rub it with water and lye. If you need to remove them from plastic, why not destroy the evidence ? The whole plastic I mean

I think for just tagging it's too much to clear fingerprints and so on.
