What Gets Out Turbo Glue?

[Shayla]

I got some Turbo Glue on a work apron and put it to soak in soapy water, when the glue had been dried for an hour.
It's been two days, and still looks as gluey as ever. Does freezing help?

Get a new apron, trash the old one, and voila, the glue is gone.

Wah!!!!

Well, that is an apron's destiny it can rest in peace knowing that it died protecting your work clothes.

Um, it's a shop apron. It's supposed to have evidence that you actually work on it.
If I wore one at work, I would have a lot of pristine custom shop T-shirts, and lot of stained aprons.

You and your darned logic!

Must confess, I am thankful for clean clothes. But, I love this green apron and am loathe
to pony up the big bucks, for a predecessor. Maybe, I could throw glue all over and call it art.
That worked when I accidentally got bleach on a skirt.

Bingo!

After soaking, did you scrub the glue spot with a stiff brush? ATG Turbo is generally considered to be water soluble.

Not yet. I rubbed the fabric back and forth on itself, and none came out.
Last night, I hung it over a wire fence in the backyard, in case a possum wanted to try.

Shayla, have you considered an online-snoop for the adhesive's MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)? The information therein should provide you with the glue's chemical composition, & knowing that, the specific chemical(s), or means, to thin/dilute/remove the adhesive/glue in question?
