Help ! - I spilled a liquid called 'Liquid Skin' on sette on 1997 Sedan Bridge

[Ray 40]

I was painting Liquid Skin on a cut on my arm and spilled the product on the salon sette I was sitting on.
I'm afraid to use anything abrasive on the dried stain. I'm cruising waters in British Columbia and won't be home for a couple more weeks and thought someone would have a solution to remove the stain- other than re-upholstery!
Thanks

Lighter fluid.

Polysporin or neosporin (topical antibiotic ointments) will also do it but much more slowly. Thats what we use in the ER on body parts that you don't want to put the nail polish remover on. I would think these would be gentle to vinyl too.

You mean like eyes, right....or do you mean like other places, ummm you know...

 

[docofthebay]

You have no idea (or I hope you don't) what people will do to themselves or others.
But in this case I did mean eyes.

I did once see a guy who had been fooling around on his wife. While he was asleep one night his wife superglued his middle leg to his right one.

Naptha is safe for vinyl.

Try Goo be Gone!

Don't try goo be gone, it'll take the color right off the vinyl


lighter fluid

Lighter fluid is good stuff. I use it to clean the fret board on my guitars if they're really gunky.

I forgot to ask... Does it look like an actual stain, or does it look like the vinyl melted?

 

[Ray 40]

Thanks for your quick responses.

DOCOFTHEBAY- I used Neosporin as you suggested. With lot of rubbing I have removed 98% of the 'New Skin' stain. I will get a fingernail brush tomorrow to hopefully remove the little bit that is down in the grain. Thank you, thank you, thank you !

LAZY DAZE - It was an actual topical stain - not melted vinyl. I was afraid to use an abrasive that would destroy the surface finish. The Neosporin is a cream type product that slowly- with lots of rubbing - removed the stain ( and got me out of the 'brig' with the Admiral)

Thanks again to all of you.

You might try/use/acknowledge/.......lighter fluid !!

 

[Lazy Daze]

Good - glad you're getting it removed. Just so you know, naptha is not an abrasive and is very safe for vinyl.

Would Vaseline work just as well as Neosporin?

Also, I'm going to store away, for future reference, that Neo trick (and the lighter fluid one, too).

Mike, What kind? Charcoal or the liquid butane stuff?

 

[Good Grief]

which reminds me of something i heard (that I'm sure this site can confirm or deny) that super glue was actually developed for soldiers to use on the battle field...

Lighter fluid, naptha, Kent Acrysol all are petroleum based and will do the trick. Naptha stinks though...lol We buy Acrysol by the 5 gallon buckets to remove adhesive overspray when we are installing Nuvacore, plexi and other acrylics and laminates.

Lighter fluid (naptha) is being ignored because it won't work. Cyanoacrylate (CA) can be dissolved using acetone. It sounds like the CA has been allowed to cure completely so, if your settee is fabric, it is unlikely you will remove it completely now. Use a toothbrush and acetone to work the CA into a liquid in the fibres and remove it by wicking it with Kleenex or similar. Keep working it. It will take quite a while and may discolour the area you are working on. In another hobby I use CA extensively and it is a pig once cured to remove but it can be removed.
