To revive a sharpie or permanent marker needs alcohol it's a very common way, we know. But, have any idea to fix a dried out sharpie without rubbing alcohol.
*Side note*
I'm using water but can't fix yet properly. I've tested other types too and still the same result.
I suspect finger nail polish remover will make the tip useable again. That or maybe Goof Off.
Milk? Orange juice?
It isn't worth the time and trouble trying to refill a sharpie. They aren't overly expensive if you shop around online.
The best way to fix that is to throw it away and get a new one.
