Title: White mark after methylene chloride
Post by: paulrich on August 10, 2017, 06:30:34 PM

Hi all!

I used some methylene chloride to remove a logo on a jacket.

It has left a white mark, but only about 1/4 of the area. I've washed the jacket since. The mark is in the area that the logo was.

I imagine this is just glue, and if so should I just put more methylene on it? If so, soak the area and leave it for a while? I don't want to overdo it and permanently damage the jacket..

Thanks!
Paul

When I get this adhesive ghost, after spraying or dabbing, I rub fairly hard with a  white towel. It often also improves greatly with another heat pressing.

I should also say, that sometimes, it never completely goes away, but when another transfer is applied over it, it becomes a lot less noticeable.

If it's water proof (or resistant,) might be what they use to make it that way.

You could try the Nylobond ritual and try a little rubbing alcohol on it.  :)
