I've got a set of (probably) laser engraved plastic markers from Gale Force 9 for the Babylon 5 A Call to Arms game. They look really good, but some of the numbers on them have changed with the 2nd edition of the game. Is there an easy way to remark, overwrite or "relaser" a portion of the text?

Basically, I'd like to replace "9" with "A" or "10" with "9" in one part of the marker, while leaving the rest of it as-is. I could overwrite them with a permanent marker, but I'm wondering if anyone here knows of other options.

And no, I don't have a powerful laser of my own…

Put it on the shark did you?

Print out the info you need on paper (at the proper font size), cut it out and glue it over what you want to change? Less worries about disasters than if going with the engraver route….
