Spilled super glue on my car seat!

[hauts]

Hey guys,

 

Recently spilled super glue on my passenger seat, and it kinda left a 50c size mark ..pretty much forever.

It's pretty noticable, especially throughout the day and it's pissing me off!

 

I immediately drove down to a leather shop reccomended by a friend, Classic Auto Leather.

They advice me to change the entire seat leather (butt area) and assured me it was the same leather (quality/colour).

 

What should I do?

[Odessus]

Change the leather. Simple. These type of things pisses me off to the max as well.

Try home fix. They should hv the solution to remove superglue.

Acetone will be able to dissolve super glue but it might take out the pigment of the leather or worse dissolve it if it's synthetic. Cleaning it might just spread the mess around even more.

IIRC 3M makes a product that debonds CA adhesives like super glue. Maybe try that from a hardware store?

Hmm.. maybe you can try using acetone-free debonders.. available at some craft stores. less harsh on fabrics like leather...

if all else fails, change the leather?

and best wait till you're out of your car before handling superglue if u can help it to prevent anymore schticky situations!

Try on a small patch in a hidden area first.

Try to make the super glue affected area very cold like maybe ice it then crack it off using rounded end of your credit/cash card.

Eh don't laugh at me leh! Just suggesting to help.

Bro, me not making fun of you... There is really gum removal spray... What it does is to literally freeze the gum so that it becomes brittle....

But then again if use on leather seat, will the leather freeze too....

Bro Oldman, no worries. I apologize if I sounded abit too serious ......I meant it as a little joke on my post. By the way, you are right about freezing the leather & doing more harm to it than good. Controlled application of freezing agent is the key to success here.

 

Ruth ....... yes it is of 高难度 definitely. We don't want to get caught in a situation here an attempt to fix one problem we generate another.

[itsmeRuth]

lol... where is hauts????

no response from him. lol.

he probably thinks: all these folks ah.. what kuku are they talking... i'll just go change the leather. problem solved!

[Old-MAN]

Bro Quicksilver, no worries mate... But hor, change leather also got risk..... The colour of the leather may have some variance..... Unless using the same dye under same same condition otherwise colour still can tell got diff.......

[Ricebandit]

Ya agree with bro old man.. You know what would be more annoying? If the grain of the leather was different, or the shade was off by just a bit..

Sorry sorry, been busy with work! A friend of mine had the same problem, used a homemade liquid, it got rid of the superglue mark, but it also got rid of the leather...partially, but now he has it even worse!

Hahaha, it's the front seat, i'm driving a coupe. A friend had superglue in her hand as she was trying to fix her heels, she tried opening the tube and everything just came out...

 

wow, I'm trying my best to make this sound not so dirty..but it then spilled onto my seat as I was driving and I couldn't react in time to wipe it ..

 

Any pictures to share??

 

I will take a picture later on, the original picture I took wasn't so clear.

 

 

Thanks for al lthe response. I'm currently just living with it now, I barley notice the seat while I'm driving.
