    Red face Stupid Mistake

    I made a stupid mistake and don't know if I can fix it. I have a Square-n-Blocker that I use for an ironing pad. I forgot to lay my sheet down and now have glue on it and have no idea if I can get it out. Any suggestions? And thanks to whomever suggested a dryer sheet to clean the iron,that worked like a charm!

    I don't have any ideas for how to get the glue off -

    but very few of us make "smart mistakes"

    I wonder if putting paper, like from an old-style grocery sack, on it & ironing would help lift the glue. It could be worth a try. I also got some heat/bond on my ironing pad & put aluminum foil down then ironed that. It lifted some of the heat/bond, but not all.

    I agree with the brown paper bag down and ironing over it. I also agree with "bearisgray" that no one ever makes a "smart" mistake. Mistakes happen and don't feel bad-we have all been there. Good luck

    There is a product that hospitals use that is called adhesive remover. I have never tried it, but it might work.

    Thanks for the ideas. I will try them all. Maybe a paper bag will work, I never thought of that.

    Goo Gone? It works for lots of sticky, gooey things.

    Goo Gone was my first thought, but if you don't have it, try vinegar. It seems to be magic elixir for everything . LOL
