The next day yob came back and tried to tag the wall again but you could see where he had started then found his pen ruined with the grease and tried scribbling on the wall to no avail. All I did was wipe the ink off with paper towel. Yob never tried again and I would guess his pen was ruined so stopped his antics.

But it requires short term effort - it is necessary to remove or overpaint it (properly)as soon as it appears. <br />I kept solvents for felt pen and tins of the various paint colours used around the common areas of the building, when I came back from work in the early hours of the morning I dealt with anything which had appeared. The effect was that there was no point in graffiti in that particular location as no one ever saw it, so after a while they gave up doing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-15896319712957071882018-11-28T13:25:14.122+00:002018-11-28T13:25:14.122+00:00Being 400 miles away makes that rather difficult. ...Being 400 miles away makes that rather difficult. The point is why go to all the effort of getting the paint etc. to the location then waste all that effort for the sake of a few extra brush strokes?
