I have a pair of denim jeans. On the surface, over the right front pocket, are several black ink stains, clearly visible. I have washed the jeans, after pretreating the stains, but the stains remain. Helpful friends, and my mother, too, tell me that hair spray may do the trick. I have no hair spray.
Now, on the final day of 2005, I plan to walk to the local supermarket to purchase some hair spray. I am going. Now.
UPDATE: Does anybody need aerosol hair spray? I have a virtually unused can of "Consort - For Men." It won't remove waterproof ink stains, but it does promise "Great Hold, Never Stiff, Never Sticky."
Happy New Year, friends.

Posted by: David at January 1, 2006 4:40 PMWell, I've simply got to read your site more often.
As of last Thursday, I have, sitting on my bookshelf, a can of hairspray that ricdude, the creator of the Enlightened Sound Daemon, bequeathed to me as he packed up his stuff from his cubicle to move to another part of the country.
Oh well. Perhaps one day I'll find some stains that the hairspray will [fail to] get out.
