Is it small enough to cut out? I've been able to trim out large cigarette burns (my drunk brother's) that I thought I'd never be able to get rid of.
First thing I'd try is naphtha.
Or Goof Off, in small yellow cans, sold at Home Depot (with all the glue and epoxy). Seems to cut damn near anything.

If that don't do it nothing will.

You might call the company and ask about " contact cement".
I've used this product before and it worked..
They are numbered 1-5

That's probably not going to do much. Try acetone (lacquer thinner) instead.
Caution: before following the above advice, test in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't dissolve synthetic carpet fibers too.

Yes. And use with adequate ventilation (unless you *like* headaches).
