best way to remove glue?
« on: March 02, 2012, 03:12:17 AM »
so i have a skating pony which removed the booties from and there are still some glue patches left on the legs, what is the best way to get these off? tried sandpaper (fine is all we have) but can seem to budge it. Based UK if that matters depending what methods/products. Thanks peeps x

Have you tried Acetone/Nail polish remover? It's worked for me every time.

Be careful with soaking though, it could damage the plastic. I was overenthusiastic with acetone once, and it ended up 'chewing' into the plastic, giving the pony dents :(

you have to really go for it, give it a really good rub with some acetone and should come off.
