Rocco 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 OK, not for the first time ever... super glue over run. This time on a favorite shirt. Is there any way short of a flame thrower of getting this stuff out of fabric? At least my fingers are still separate and not attached to my nose or something... thanks, Rocco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noahguide 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2017 When removing super glue from clothes, follow these steps for a quick solution: Be patient – don’t panic! Whilst most types of stains are best treated immediately, you've a far better chance of removing super glue successfully if you let it dry out. If you start dabbing at a stain before it’s had a chance to harden, then you could just cause it to spread. Soak the garment Soften the stain by leaving the garment in some cold water, then removing it from soak and allowing it to dry. Scrape off glue with a spoon Once you are sure the glue is dry, and it's softened up a bit, it should hopefully be possible to gently scrape away some of the stain with a spoon. Only do this if you’re dealing with cottons or synthetic fabrics as you could cause damage on more delicate fabrics such as silk and wool. Use nail polish remover to tackle leftover stains Many nail polish removers contain acetone, which is great at breaking down super glue. Apply a little to a cotton wool pad and gently dab at the stain. You will find that the remnants of glue start to come off slowly. Warning: acetone can discolour some fabrics so always do a patch test on an inside seam of the garment first. If the fabric looks like it won't withstand the acetone, take it to a dry cleaner instead. Wash as usual Launder the garment according to the instructions on the care label. Remember to use a high-quality laundry detergent – we like OMO! Rinse and repeat Check to see if the stain has completely gone after drying, and put it back through the wash if you can still see a mark. There you have it: everything you need to know about removing super glue from clothes. Just remember to be extra careful with delicate fabrics, and always consult a professional if you have any questions or concerns. Better safe than sorry, after all!

mikechell 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2017 In my experience, superglue sets and becomes brittle. Depending on the fabric, many times, after it's dried out, it can be cracked and broken apart until there's very little sign it was ever on there. The other side of that coin is, if it's the wrong type of material ... your favorite shirt just became your favorite "yard work" shirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
