Do wet erase markers erase off whiteboards?

If by "wet erase" markers you mean water-soluble markers, the answer is - usually yes. The surface preparation for dry erase boards (whiteboards) is different from the way you would prepare a surface for water-soluble markers. As a consequence, it is not uncommon for water soluble markers to leave a stain on a whiteboard that requires some other solvent to remove. If a wet permanent marker is used on a dry erase board, it can sometimes be removed with an appropriate solvent, but often the whiteboard will be permanently stained (which you might expect from a permanent marker)


Why does acetone remove permanent marker?

Acetone is a strong solvent that can dissolve the ink in permanent markers.

Difference between overhead and dry erase markers?

The ink used in dry-erase markers is almost identical to that used in permanent markers. It is comprised of colored pigments, a chemical solvent (like alcohol) and a polymer or "release agent." The type of polymer used marks the main difference between dry-erase and permanent markers. Unlike permanent markers, which use acrylic polymers to make the pigment stick to surfaces, dry-erase markers use an oily silicone polymer. The ink's slippery consistency prevents the colored pigment from coming in direct contact with the surface so it can easily be wiped off.
