Mjolnir Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) A friend of mine found a designer suede jacket at a resale store. $20 for a $300 jacket. ( it reminded me of the ' Nasty Gal' story). It had a sticker mark on the front. Anyone know a gentle way to remove the glue? PS Tell me It's ruined and maybe I can spend $20 bucks for some designer suede scrap Edited January 26, 2018 by Mjolnir ps Quote He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

bikermutt07 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Ruint!!! Well, here's an idea. The bag I'm working on is sueded. I was going to use a brass wire brush to fluff it a little. But the client said leave it. Maybe he can fluff it just enough to trim the sticky off of it?

When you turn them upside down they get wicked cold. Thanks!

Mark842 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 I wonder if an el cheapo glue eraser might work. They pull glue like Barge and the like off suede just fine. Like this... https://www.ebay.com/i/191294869055?chn=ps I know Walmart sells them too for about $5 Quote

Mjolnir Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Posted January 27, 2018 rubber cement eraser was my first thought too. When I was presented this question I had three solutions and paused. 'Heck if I know'. I didn't want her to damage it. Grannys spot remover may work. 'eraser' is where I would start. Tweezers? The freezing sounds like a solid idea I'll pass along.

alpha2 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 My experience yesterday with some Renia stuff told me that once it gets "into" the suede, you are out of luck, but these other posts may have some merit. Let us know how it works out! Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 27, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted January 27, 2018 do you have WD40 over there? If so; soak a bit of rag with it and apply gently to the gummy bit; try not to saturate the suede, just the sticky. Working carefully the WD40 will dissolve it and remove it. Alternatives to WD40 do not work Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
