Sealant marks in clothes?
On Friday I managed to get some sealant glue (STIXALL Extreme Power to be precise) onto my suit trousers.
It's a washable suit (as I always seem to do things like this  ) but I've not put it in the wash yet.
What do you think will get it out?
I've tried sealant remover - didn't do a thing.
Water - Didn't help
Wonder Wipes (advertised for sealant removal) - nothing either.
Gutted that I've always managaed to get everything out of this suit. It wasn't expensive but I can't afford another.
So LCB collective.....Any ideas please?
Thanks all
Michael

If its like sikaflex / tiger sealer i don't think you will remove it try petrol and a match = new suit

Try contacting the manufacturers, to see if they do a solvent for it.
I got some lovely orange smelling stuff off 3M, that removes dried on glue.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

The only chance of removing such stuff from clothes is to do it before it dries - I'm allways getting sykaflex type on my clothes at work , and
it will come off - but you only have about five minutes.............
The best thing to get it out is Avery surface cleaner (the decals department use it to de-grease paint before applying decals.....)
Its cuz I is blond , innit

If it is Tigerseal or similar (PU), then the best thing I find is white spirit. If you leave a lightly soaked rag on the offending spill, then it
should shift it...You may need to dab and repeat. Then you have the fun of getting rid of the white spirit smell!

I have used Meths to remove PU adhesive in the past. It will take quite a soaking though.
Cheers,

Acetone can soften and remove PU adhesive but no idea what it will do to various materials. i would guess it could harm man made fibres, so usual
disclaimer and try in a hidden area first rules apply.
I bought a small bottle from chemist when building car, was great at removing PU from bodywork and chassis etc.

Just an update on my suit - Have tried all suggested methods now, thank you all for your help and advice.
Sadly I think my suit is passed it and none of the methods worked. Kitchen stinks like a chemical plant over the last few days and I think it's
time to call it a day.
EBay/Charity shops here I come for a new suit!
Thanks all
Michael

Make it into a fashion statement - how about sewing on elbow patches or a cod piece?
