Dried glue in fabric

Maybe soften it with heat and then wash it out with soapy water?

I don’t think I own a sweater or shirt that does not have any glue on it…... At least that is what my wife is always telling me….. I know of no way to remove it…

I got some Titebond II on my shirt sleeve this morning. Fortunately it’s an old shirt. Titebond glues are verrrrrry good. You now have an “old” sweatshirt.

I was afraid of this…!

SOAK your shirt in warm/hot water, the longer the better, then scrub. TB III even though it is waterproof will tend to soften and let go after a prolonged water emersion.

There should be a phone number on the bottle for tech info. I know I talked to them several years ago about Titebond II and was told that Acetone would dissolve it. I haven’t tried it yet on III.

I am interested in trying the water. Scissors is the only way that I have ever been able to remove it.

This is the response from TiteBond to my e-mail:

There are two. You can use heat to soften the glue and scrape it out. Often times a steam iron set at the highest setting, with a paper towel between the iron and the glue, will soften the glue. You can also soak the area in acetone. The acetone will soften and swell the polymer so that you can scrape it out. Neither process is a fast one and they should never be used together.
