HELP!!! Superglue on Denim.

Reverbe

Hoping someone can help me. I tried to moneysave right now and glue my good as new trainers as they are starting to come apart on the sole at the toe. However I accidentally got some on my flatmates new jeans due to a pulling off the lid mishap.

I know from previous experience that nail varnish remover gets it off your skin in combo with cold water and scrubbing but have no idea re fabric dilemmas.Have tried a cold water scrub with a scrubbing brush and a teeny bit of nail varnish on the back but as they are dark and quite new I am dubious about using NV remover on the front.

Can anyone help me please?

I saw superglue remover in Tesco once. So there is a product out there if you can find it. Perhaps try google.

Yep just googled looks to be lots on it.

Reverbe

thanks shop to drop. have also googled and found that the old paper towel and iron that works wonders for candle wax might help.. anymore tips would be welcome folks.. x

Reverbe

More tips needed folks.. tried the paper towel candle thingie and it didnt do much. Have also called our local Tesco, Wilko and Sainsburys - none of which sell superglue remover..

Hi Reverbe:hello:

I found a thread from the DIY section, which suggests places to buy the remover - removing superglue from clothing

Wish i could be more help - sorry!

Also found this link from a previous post from Pink

Good luck, let us know if you manage to remove it.:)

Soaking superglue in hot soappy water makes it go cloudy & brittle so once its dry you may be able to pick it off.......worth a try?

Reverbe

Zippy thanks. The only place I can think of that I havent tried is DIY shops which I cant reach locally without a car...I have suggested it to Wilkos as a stock suggestion and the manager says thats a good idea as they sell even in my small one about 30 types of superglue. I said surely I cant be the only one.

Also tried WH Smith and all poundshops.. all of whom only sell the glue in glue only packs.

Seems pretty baffling to me if PPl sell Locktite that they dont also stock Locktites remover product for something so hard to get rid of..

Have seen some on the Internet and ebay when Googling but this will take appro a month all in for delivery..
