    How about sticking it in the freezer then seeing if it will flake off? I remember it working with chewing gum on my jeans years ago (although would have been more difficult when my sister put it in my hair when I was little :( )

    When i have got blue tac on things i have used another blob of blue tac to lift of the excess by pressing it on and pulling it off quickly. This might help, alternitvly, you could just try running it through the washing machine and see what it comes out like. Remember that white tac and blue tac have an oil in them so you might have to use a stain remover to get the stain out.

    good luck

    Had a similar problem myself - a cap full of white vinegar may kill the oil in the tac - worth a try I guess
    I THINK is a whole sentence, not a replacement for I Know
