Default Cleaning Screen

I was cleaning my screen and ended up using a dry erase marker to outline my design. Now I can't seem to get it off and I was planning on using photo emulsion in the near future but I know the lines will show up on after burning the image. I've tried Simple Green and 409 but have had little success. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As long as the mesh is open you shouldn't have a problem with printing.

The mesh is open but when I use the light to expose the image the old design which was outlined in black dry erase will wash out along with the new design if you know what I mean.

try a thicker coat and expose it a for a little longer. If this fails, get new mesh!
