I'm not sure what you could do to keep the markings from rubbing off, other than being really careful not to scrape or rub the ruler when using it.

I'd suggest trying these out in a small area or an older ruler first, sometimes these types of cleaners can rub off the markings from the ruler.

I have a 6 x 24" one that I used for about 10 years in my canvas-work shop, with a large rotary cutter. Then when I started quilting, I was getting inconsistent 1/4 seam allowances. Checked it against a new ruler, and the edge is worn away just slightly, but enough to make a difference.<br />Cheryl Hauptnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403152087632739855.post-12206664125181832722013-11-08T08:15:45.295-06:002013-11-08T08:15:45.295-06:00HI Anna, I've never experienced a curve in my ...HI Anna, I've never experienced a curve in my acrylic rulers from use, so I don't know if it can be corrected. If you ruler is bowing out, it may be bending due to heat or not being stored flat. If you are cutting with a knife, maybe it is possible that you are also wearing down the side of the ruler? I'm really not sure!Erika Mulvennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819965592532896464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403152087632739855.post-33075630490692653712013-09-27T23:21:32.771-05:002013-09-27T23:21:32.771-05:00Your "Ooops" photo looks exactly like my...Your "Ooops" photo looks exactly like my ruler!
