The Canadian Posted July 3, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2010 Two of my BDU Shirts, US Air Force Woodland and a US Air Force DCU have glue gunk on sleeves and front pockets. I've found that ironing and hand washing has helped a little to get the gunk off the less stubborn spots, but for the most part the gunk continues to allude me. Are there any solutions? While I'm not against buying actual goo-off type stuff, I'm not a fan of it. I've had bad experiences in the past, with a t-shirt becoming discoloured and the goo-off destroying the quality of the material. Help me out? Thank you in advance!

Mk1rceme Posted July 5, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 5, 2010 I have used a product called Un-Do...worked great but hard to find here. Or, you can type in "How to remove glue residue from clothing" on google a bunch of links pop up that may help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ashooter Posted July 6, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2010 GI bore cleaner or WD40 might work but don't know if it will stain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings, Since you ironed the glue, you may be out of luck. In the future, if its a fabric glue or something like Elmer's, warm water along with patience and a little finger rubbing can do the trick. WARM is the key, not hot. I would AVOID any petroleum based solvent like WD-40 or anything like "Goo-be-Gone" as you're almost guaranteed to stain the fabric. Some adhesives you just cant remove without damaging the textile. Good luck, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
