Default Rehydrating markers

I have just done about 15 searches to find a recipe (precise measurements) for a fluid to rehydrate water-based markers. Everything I'm finding is about Refilling with ink, or talks about refilling Blender pens. I have no reinkers. I have no blender pen for water based markers. I have LOTS of Marvy LePlume and such like, which I have hardly used. But they are old and dry.
Does anyone have experience with this?
TIA
And Happy New Year to all!

Here is a method I found. Haven't used it myself, but it looks like it would work:

I'm also wondering if the Tim Holtz refresher would work, as I believe you can use it on Distress Markers, and they are water based.

If a marker has dried ... not only is the liquid portion gone .. but with that, the pigmentation/ink itself is gone as well. So it would seem that without an actual "re-inker" fluid available, simply adding a clear liquid to rehydrate would result in a very faded version of the original at the very best. Thankfully, most water-based markers are priced with replacement in mind, rather than re-use/refilling.
