Remove Patch Glue

Removing patch glue is possible with just a few easy-to-find products.


Patch glue is a helpful adhesive in crafts and sewing. Sometimes, spills, mistakes, and misplaced patches make it necessary to remove patches and patch glue. Removing patch glue can be tricky, but it can usually be removed quickly with just a few products found in your home. Before removing the glue, it is advisable to test an inconspicuous spot for colorfastness with lighter fluid.


Instructions


1. Heat the iron the warmest setting (usually the "linen" setting).


2. Spread the cloth where the adhesive is on the ironing board so that the patch or the patch glue is facing away from where you will be ironing. You may need to turn the garment inside out.


3. Spread a cloth over the area with the adhesive or patch.


4. Iron over the adhesive or patch with the cloth in between for 15 to 20 seconds.


5. Peel the patch slowly off of the cloth so that as much glue comes off with it as possible. If there is no patch and only glue, scrape the glue with the credit card until as much as possible is removed.


6. Saturate any remaining glue with the lighter fluid and dab with the cloth until all of the glue has been removed.
