well I hope the WD40 works for you.
I hadn't thought of that and it's usually my first option for getting most things out (not yet figured out how to get black biro out of a school blazer :mad: )

Try hairspray but test on the inside first. Works on shirts. hth

you could also try nail polish remover, turpentine/paint thinners.

any solvent really, do it outside though for the fumes xx

I tried nail polish remover, I think had I persevered I may have got there in the end but all it seemed to be doing initially was spreading the stain.

Tried that too, same result as above.

What fabric and what colour?

It's a darkish blue colour, no idea what fabric blazers are made from.
I'm chucking it at the end of this school term anyway as he's already been given a new one as a hand me down.

Just wanted to take notes because no doubt it will happen again :mad:

Edit: Oops! Forgot to say, thanx for the replies

They probably mean applying it twice (within 5 mins eg) doesn't mean you have 6 hours protection - just the usual 3

They might have meant that but what they actually said was that if you put another lot on after 3 hours (which they said you had to do) you wouldn't get any longer protection above the first 3 hours IFYSWIM. Daft really.

Oh errr AAU. You look like you have been semi tango'd by the strawberry tango man.

Sorry, I shouldn't jest. Is it as painful as it looks? Hope you get it sorted soon. Ouch!

Quick reply......

Postie just came and put 4 letters through door, including 3, yes three from my local council telling me my council tax has increased by over £260 for the year, back dated to April 1st. No wonder it's gone up when they need 3 letters to tell me so. :eek:

Then 5 mins later he knocks with a parcel in hand. Doesn't quite make up for the £260, but a nice bonus.

Was wondering if any of you lovely mums or dads, know how to get tar off clothes, my road has been re-surfaced in the last couple of weeks, but they just put tar all over road, then scattered stones all over it and it is a cul de sac so we don't get much traffic, and with this heat it is just melting really bad. Well all the stones get flicked up over pavements and grass areas, and my son has sat on the grass/pavement in a few pairs of his shorts and got tar all over them.

Can recommend Swarfega.
Years ago Chesil Beach was always covered in tarry pebbles.
Swarfega sorted out our shoes & swimwear regularly/daily

Sorry to bore you all, but can't contain myself. oh my giddy god, just been for official weigh in at the docs and nearly piddled myself! My scales must be way out, doc said I have lost nearly 2 freakin stone (short 4lbs) holy cow. :j Still got a long way to go but I'm delighted with the first hurdle being cleared.
