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 :)

Ruint!!! :yeah:

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?

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

that's a great idea. I suppose a key board spray? When you turn them upside down they get wicked cold. Thanks!

yeah, any bottled air will do that. Not sure how moist it might be though, your freezer will be dry for sure...

Let us know how it goes

Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

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.

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!

So much leather...so little time.

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
