chevysoldier Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) So my daughter has some silly putty and she got it in her little chair. It's pretty well into the fabric and I can't get hardly anymore of it out. I tried using ice to harden it but it really didn't help much. Anyone had this kind of problem or have any ideas?

Bad324 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 So my daughter has some silly puffy and she got it in her little chair. It's pretty well into the fabric and I can't get hardly anymore of it out. I tried using ice to harden it but it really didn't help much. Anyone had this kind of problem or have any ideas?this will probably be a question you don't know the answer to but what kind of fabric? That makes a big differenceI used to work at a Drycleaners in High School and College and used to know all the tricks of how to get what out of certain fabrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 oh boy this is going to be a tad more difficult to diagnose than I thought due to the make up of silly puddy:65% dimethyl siloxane, hydroxy-terminated polymers with boric acid17% silica, quartz crystalline9% thixotrol ST4% polydimethylsiloxane1% decamethyl cyclopentasiloxane1% glycerine1% titanium dioxide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think acetone will cut dimethyl siloxane...(the biggest ingredient in silly putty)It will cause it to swell a little, but I believe it will dilute it quite a bit, now getting it OUT of the fabric without staining wil be tricky (don't know much about that).most nail polish removers are acetone.However, the best solvent would probably be Methanol (methyl alcohol)without knowing the fabric, these might also dissolve it as well though(working for a chemical company for 5 months, I sure have picked up a lot)we use acetone as a general purpose cleaner... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) G3- not really an option. Don't even know if I could get a new shell.Acetone huh. I might try some on a hidden corner to see if it stains. And on some of the putty I got out to see what the acetone does to it. edit- PUTTY NOT PUFFY! stupid auto correct Edited May 5, 2011 by chevysoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 DO NOT USE WD-40 on fabric. A grase cutting dish soap or rubbing alcohol would be a much better optionIf I had $1 for every time some hilljack from down the hill tried to spot clean their clothes with wd-40 and it didn't work then expected us to get out the extra stain they put in it, I would have about 5 more bikesAlso, thank you for having a head on your shoulders and testing it on an inconspicuous place first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Isn't brake cleaner MEK? Methyl Ethyl Ketone? Either way, use outdoors. Not good to breath the vapors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good to breath the vapors.Brake cleaner is no fun to get into the eyes, either.Brake cleaner is no joke! One time I was spraying some on a running engine, past the fan, and in a very short time, the vapors just about got me. I was having a tough time breathing more than very shallow breaths. Yes, be careful with that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
