Removing Dried Yellow Glue From Clothing

Excerpts from The Messageboards

Jesse in New Mexico asked: Had a big glue up this A.M. and didn't notice till mid afternoon that I had a line of Titebond on my shirt. Is there anything that can take the dried glue off?

Gene Gauss: Try soaking it in hot very soapy water for awhile. Once in awhile when I'm feeling really cheap, I restore hardened glue brushes that way.

Gary Clarke: I use a mixture of vinegar and water (1323 or ¼–¾) and it works well to clean glue brushed and old glue bottles.

Bill Tindall: Normal laundry removes it. It softens readily in hot soapy water.

George@Colonel's Workshop-Havertown: I've had great success using my shop scissors. It drives my wife crazy, but it works great when it's not too cold.

Ken Oakley-Sunny St. Cloud, Fla: I have had great success melting it out with a Bernz-O-Matic torch.

Barry Irby: You wash your shop clothes?
