Of course you could make it even more complicated. Design and build a spaceship, travel to the Moon, collect some of the abrasive dust from its surface, travel back, make the Moon dust into a paste and rub this on the board. Alternatively use a pencil eraser, no expensive, dangerous and messy chemicals to use, just the humble inexpensive pencil you probably have hanging around anyway.
