    Great advice. I watch a shoe cobbler that uses this often. He has a small steel oil “squirt can” that he uses to separate the glue on shoe repairs.

    Odorless mineral spirits is great stuff. I works great as a general purpose degreaser as well. It has a very high flash point so it is very safe. But it does have a couple drawbacks. As it ages it oxidizes and starts to stink so keep your supply clean. Don't pour back used thinner. Also do not use near standing pilot lights like on old school furnaces, water heaters and stove. The combusted fumes stink awful and the byproducts are corrosive to the pilot gas orifice.

    I wrap duct tape around my hand and pat the area gently, repeatedly. The duct tape pulls the glue off without harming vinyl, leather, or paint. If its a stubborn area I'll change the tape out 2 or 3 times.

      Hello Joe, Thank you so much! If you are gluing two soft things together like foam to foam or foam to material, there is no waiting. If you are glued to something hard like metal or hard plastic, give it a solid five minutes of drying time before putting together. Please keep liking and watching!

    Would this be a good way to clean the inside of the spray gun after you spray glue? Or would it be easier to just have a cheap gun designated for glue only?

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  Рік тому +1

      Hello Fox, I bought a cheap HF spray gun only for this purpose for like $28. The only time I have had to clean the inside was when I let the level get too low, then in the heat, the glue at the bottom got too thick so I had to clean it out. With the mineral spirits, the glue just rolls right out. Please keep liking and watching!
