My daughter drug her new markers through Elmer's glue. Now the markers don't work. Any way to salvage this?

What can I do next?

Probably not. In all honesty, it's probably cheaper to just replace the markers than to use your time/energy to salvage them. I'd chalk this up as a life lesson for your daughter--glue & markers don't mix.

If you cant pick the dry glue off the markers, it's time for some more new markers. Can you say "Dollar Store"?

I would just throw them away.

Staples has packs of markers for $1 (I think) for back to school.

i would try wiping them off with a baby wipe, not sure it that would work, but if they were new they would have lots of ink left once you got the glue off the tip. Infact maybe holding them under running water would dissolve the glue and the just dry them on a paper towel, cap them and store them vertically on their caps and bring them back out in a day or two.

They're markers. Go buy some new ones on sale right now for about 80 cents a pack. :) Good lesson for your daughter, though! :)

Nope.

I always, buy (when on sale), back-up markers/crayons when I shop, just in case.
