Try a spatula.
I just wanted to tell you that I learned from your Magic Eraser/Sharpie/Matisse poster disaster. (Was it a Matisse?) I have a 11×14 photo with an infuriating scratch on it. I was sore tempted to fiddle with it using sundry cob-job tools. But quickly to my mind came the memory of your folly. So I decided just to suck it up, and live with the scratch. Thank you for your wisdom.
I thought about my red-eye pen. I even held it gently in my hand for a moment, wondering…then I remembered my acid-free, waterproof, fade-proof, neat-o scrapbook pen. And it worked, which was a big risk, actually (since the photo cost $150…and wasn’t mine). But I’m a maverick; I’ve always been one to live life on the edge. I’m a wild card, I tell you.

A SPATULA! You always have been the brilliant one. Of course, I could also stop making really big holes in the wallâ
