Posted: 3/13/06 at 12:29pmI sat in gum. Now I have white gum on the butt of my black jacket. How do I get it out?

Posted: 3/13/06 at 12:32pmThe "best" way is with baby oil. But on a jacket that may not be an option.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
Conan O'Brien

Go to Manhattan Wardrobe Supply and pick up a bottle of gum remover--better than Goo Gone.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Posted: 3/13/06 at 2:30pmFreezing is great. The cans of Chewing Gum remover "freeze" it but it may not be good for apparel. (We use it on carpeting and pew upholstery.)
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

first of all is it a washable jacket? If it is use and oil based product to get it out, then to get the oiol spot out use dish soap. Otherwise you will always have that oil spot on the jacket.
If it's not washable you can try freezing it of, but I'm not sure it will all come out.

Thank you all!
I used a goo-gone type product, now my jacket smells like paint thinner. But the gum is gone!
