Since it appears that I'm not the only person who fights with (and often loses to) my B-72, I thought I'd pose another question. We recently purchased a new supply of clear B-72 from University Products, and it has an extremely thin consistancy and also wipes off the black ink that has been used to apply the number to the object. We use ZIG "Millenium" pens, which, according to them, are "pigment ink, Acid-free, Archival Quality, Lightfast, Waterproof, Fade-Proof, Non-bleeding." I assumed that there was too much acetone in the solution, so we tried leaving the top off the bottle for several hours, and when that had no effect, we left the top off over night. By this morning, half of the bottle had evaporated, but it is still very thin and is still wiping away the ink. Any suggestions? Thanks!
