Contact Cement Ooze Removal. What's Your Best Solution?

You can also use the same brand of thinner as the cement to remove residue left after rubbing. It takes a few minutes for the thinner to loosen it up. Then rub with some gum rubber to pull it out. You should be able to dye better after that.

When I was a kid starting out the main man in the shop was just plain mean but to get along you were supposed to laugh. The shop was in an old building that had been designed for touring cars with canvas tops to pull in so they could be worked on. Those were simpler times and one young buck rode his horse with new saddle on it into the shop and tied him so he could come in to the coffee pot. George poured Barges all ove rthe seat and needless to say somebody was upset. That new saddle was the pinnacle of his achievements in his young life and George had ruined it. After the crying and the threats died down, we counseled mr buckaroo to just chill and we would think of something. When the glue had thoroughly dried somebody walked up to the mess and just rubbed it off.

I may have taken a large metallic object to his head for that.

If that had been me, . . . before I was say, . . . 30, . . . the shop would have gotten swept out, . . . by me or by him, . . . one of us would have mopped up on the other one for sure.

I'm a little bit more mellow at 71 now, . . . but I would be awful tempted to, . . . uhh, . . . retaliate, . . . and a large metallic object sounds like a good prescription.

People like him just need a good head bustin every now and then to keep em in line.

May God bless,

If more pastors were like you I might be tempted to go to church.........

His orneriness inspired creativity in the practical jokes department but now that you mention it, I'm not quite sure why he survived those years unscathed. I for one passed several things that might have resulted in severe retribution with just trying to figure out a way to one up him.

If you dye first, the glue will come off easier. Rub with a finger works. Sometimes I will use a Big Mistake eraser. If I glue natural leather, I use Oxalic Acid with a soft cloth. Wet the glue spot well and lightly rub. It dissolves. Be careful not to burnish the leather.

My dad used to tell me my mouth would get me in trouble. Later I learned how to talk my way out of it.
