Stupidly managed to get some hot melt glue stick on to the dark fabric of a Toyota car seat. Managed to get a good deal of out by rubbing with a cloth soaked in washing up liguid and really boiling hot water.
Any ideas on how I might tackle the rest the glue stain that's left? Thanks.
hot iron and blotting paper
Angle grinder?
but bare in mind the car seat fabric probably has quite a low melting point too. Test the iron on a hidden area first.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Frank Erskine saying something like:
Pressure washer.
You could try using acetone which dissolves many glues. It can dissolve some polymers as well so test it on a hidden part of the upholstery first to make sure any synthetic fabrics aren't going to be harmed. Acetone is available as nail polish remover.
Hot melt glue isn't waterproof. I'd cover it with a wet cloth and then plastic and leave for a while - if this is practical.
