Acetone should help shift it, or Carbon Tet, but that is banned to the public. Another way is extreme cold, liquid nitrogen, or liquid propane, or dry ice, but these are a pretty drastic solution. It renders the latex rubber into a powder that comes away from the cloth. It might affect the polyester cloth base as well..... of installation, from screw mounting, adhesive mounting or refixing to old holes previously drilled into To clean brushes I put a few drops of washing up liquid into a plastic container, added boiling water and then dunked the brush repeatedly into the liquid. After a minute or so the 'rubber' balls and falls off the brush easily.

Dab it off" cleaner may work, but it has had Carbon tetra chloride removed for health and safety reasons. It used to work fine on rubber, latex and latex paints. Plain cellulose thinners may also work. Ideal for: Paper, card, wood, plastics, metal, cork, fabric, carpets, leather, canvas and many more materials. So far I have been able to lift underlay that I've wanted to move with much difficulty and without the aid of water or other solvent. I find that the dried copydex can soon be gathered into a ball and removed. It appears to prefer its own company rather than the material it is attached to. I think that's what I like most about it. I believe some people use it wet though which gives you some repostioning but I,m not in favour of that myself. I have a pair of modelling trousers with various stains on them, including some in unfortunate locations, which live under the layout and are put on if I am gluing or painting anything to save my nice clothes; after all, if you're going to have the sort of session that involves clumsiness and this sort of mishap, you need something to wear up the pub afterwards to console yourself with a beer or several.. I live alone and nobody can see me, so for really messy work like ballasting i just strip off and have a shower afterwards. It is not a pretty sight.Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description.

Our Flexi-Fix™ range offers you three types I used to use Copydex to patch working trousers and overalls, until I could con someone into sewing me a more repair. I told my friend Steve about this, but omitted to mention that I didn't wear said items when effecting a repair. He duly slapped a healthy dose of the stuff on the patch, and pressed it down on the tear on the jeans he was wearing. It was only when changing out of these trousers at the end of the day that he discovered his error; it was a very painful process. Copydex is suitable for exterior use, and has a drying time of 30 minutes. It is solvent free and non-toxic. Once the copydex is removed, you might have a "Clintonesque" lighter piece if fabric left behind, which may be just as bad as the original problem. I'd relegate them to modelling trousers, you don't want to be wearing the wrong trousers!

at work, we use solvents for removing latex from carpets. I think it is called carbon tetrachloride available from chemists... and hardware shops (but probably under a brand name!)

Copydex is a common latex-based rubber cement in the UK. It can be easily recognised by its characteristic "fishy" odour. It has been owned since 1986 by Henkel. [1] Uses [ edit ]

High octane Petrol, (lighter fliud), will remove cured latex, it's natural rubber, which Copydex is a solution off. I now have an embarrassing ‘Clintonesque’ stain on the front of my trousers, just where you do not want such a stain. I only discovered that I had a problem when I spotted a white blob on the floor. I immediately applied lots of water and rubbed with cloth. Some came off, a lot didn’t. I googled for methods. The photo shows the only hopeful one I found. Copydex glue is solvent free and water-based, and is resistant to washing machine cycles. With its handy integral brush, it is very easy to use and is perfect for use in the home or at school. Love this! Would really recommend this glue for crafts of all sorts. I use it for paper crafting and making envelopes, it does have wuitr a strong scent but regardless of that it's incredibly strong,which I wanted.

Are you seriously telling me that there are railway modellers out there who do not keep several pairs of old trousers specifically to wear whilst modelling? It's a dirty hobby. Want to post pictures in your posts but don't know how? Instructions can be found in this topic
