What chemicals are dry erase markers made out of?  I read here:

http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/oct2000/971729510.Ch.r.html

That they are made of a pigment, carrier (water, alchohol, solvent),
and an oily silicone polymer.   Say I were to make one of my own
(without pigment), what common materials might be used?

Seems a relatively easy question for some chem guy... wasn't sure how
to price this one- Bonus if good answer

Answer

There is no answer at this time.
