GODAMNIT! I WANT MY MAGIC WINKY DINK SCREEN! so I

[rzemanfl]

can draw weird shit on the faces of these repuke mouthpieces on TV. Never should have thrown it out.

1. Waxed paper and tape should work.

[sakura]

2. Just use dry erase markers.

They'll work fine on a glass screen. I used to use them in my classroom.

6. They are toxic, emiting VOS's, and harm children!!

You are giving your kids asthma!

[sakura]

7. Nooooo, not all of them.

Some are AP certified as non-toxic. I do know what you're talking about. I've gotten light-headed in quite a few (non-school) meetings due to the vaporous type.

[L. Coyote]

10. "AP certified as non-toxic" is an industry con job. Request the MSDS

and you will see that they are in fact VOS products!

I've been down this road after blacking out in front of my class the day I started using fresh markers!
And when I tried to get my college to do something about it, what dried up was my job!

[sakura]

15. What evidence do you have the "AP certified as non-toxic" is an industry con job?

Is it ACMI that is corrupt? Or ASTM?

I'm confused about your suggestion to get the MSDS. By definition, MSDS are only available for hazardous materials. If a material is certified as not containing hazardous materials, it won't have an MSDS sheet. I checked. There are no MSDS sheets for the markers I am talking about.

There are some dry-erase markers that contain non-toxic inks, but hazardous solvents. Those DO have an MSDS sheet. The markers I am talking about do not.

Sorry to hear about your job.

[L. Coyote]

17. I requested the MSDS from the manufacturer of the non-toxic labeled marker

and they sent it to me. It contains Volatile Organic Solvents.

AP (Approved Product) = What do the ACMI Seals mean? http://www.acminet.org/Safety.htm

The Art & Creative Materials Institute, Inc. (ACMI) is a non-profit association of manufacturers of art, craft and other creative materials.

AP (Approved Product) Seal ... identifies art materials that are safe and that are certified in a toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans, including children, or to cause acute or chronic health problems.

The Assoc. of Manufacturers hires their own expert! Notice how carefully nuanced the above standard is!
Dry erase markers are TOXIC and contain VOSs. It is right in the MSDS. But, they are sold as toys!!!

[sakura]

18. What was the name/brand of the marker?

Just to clarify was it labelled both AP and non-toxic? Do I need to worry about my son's crayons and tempera paint?

Thanks!
