It's going to happen eventually. What do you guys use to clean glue off vinyl?

If it’s dry you can sometimes just rub it with your finger and just roll it off. Otherwise I’ve used paint thinner. Try it in a hidden spot though first to see how the vinyl reacts.

@Susy I don't know about Canada... My upholstery supply knowledge is pretty much limited to the US...

I've had paint thinner do crazy things to vinyl. Definitely try in a hidden spot first.

@Susy,

I am actually the master of overspray and thus have become seriously careful with what I try to remove adhesive with. I always take first shot at it with water which is safe and sound then try water and regular sunlight dishsoap. I will not mention others hings as that is to be trusted by the experts I will find the stuff John is talking about for you.

@BigRig a white eraser works to take off small amounts of glue. As well as other marks. Just don't rub to hard
