    This was covered a few weeks ago, I believe that hairspray was found to be the best product to use. Something about the alcohol content, try a search if you need further info.

    Yep, hairspray is the answer I was given. Not sure if the type or brand matters. Pump, aerosol? Could breathe new life into Aquanet! LOL

    I think the cheaper the brand the better because they will have higher amounts of alcohol, aquanet.........ah the 80`s

    Hairspray also contains other crap that gets into the pores and micro crevices of the leather. It is the alcohol in the hairspray that does the job so cut out the other crap you don`t need and use rubbing alcohol and cotton rag/swabs/balls and blot the ink spot. Rubbing alcohol is also cheaper...

    Makes sense, never even though about that.

    Don`t get me wrong, if Aqua Net brings back happy memories of parachute pants, break dancing, and a male Michael Jackson, then by all means enjoy!
