Removing glue ???

Dallas · 19th March 2019, 18:14

Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove glue from headrest fabric without destroying the headrest?

Thank you in advance.

Wd40 works on some Wes ?

Thank you in advance.

Isopropyl alcohol spray, is pretty good at shifting things like that.

Freeze spray can work depending how far it has penetrated the fabric.

I managed to get some glue out of a carpet with this trick as it goes brittle.

Acetone works great for remong glue from your skin unsure on fabric but worth a punt.

Tetrosyl Panel wipe.

Lots.

I use gun wash for any clean up jobs of this nature.

Could the thinners not also melt the fibres too ?

As yet another suggestion to add to all the above. Chemists sell a solvent remover that is safe for skin for removal of medical adhesives. (Thinking that safe for skin, it should be safe from staining materials too)

I did have a set of red Monaco’s kicking about from my old zt.
I’ll need to have a look to see if I kept them or threw them out.

Bet your wishing you sewed them on now. Doh.

Could steam help loosen the glues hold and make it easier to wipe off the residue? I'm thinking hold under a boiling kettle spout or pan - obviously be careful!

If it was non porous surfaces, orange terpenes / limonene / glue remover (with the former two) would do the job. Never tried it on fabric, so may remove the colour.

Again for a non porous surface, I've had good results by using the label glue side down to remove glue residue by pressing down and removing quickly and repeating many times, like you are dabbing it. Back in the day worked well for removing CD case label residue. Have a look on Wikipedia if you don't know what a CD is.

Baby oil (mineral oil) may work. Does wonders for your street cred as well.
