My Mood:  Rep Power: 7  |  Urgent Assistance Needed :( Hello everyone, I was wondering if you could help me? My Girlfriend has a gorgeous leather skirt but unfortunately she put it in the wardrobe and the PVC outfit that was next to it has flaked off as it is old and bits of old black PVC are now stuck to the skirt like tar. How can we get the PVC off the skirt without damaging the leather skirt? Please can anyone help Yours Crushinboots

My Mood:  Rep Power: 45 | Yes gentle heat but too much may damage the leather so a specialist solvent could be the answer. It dpends on how quick you need it and how much the skirt is worth.

My Mood:  Rep Power: 0 | you could freeze the leather. Leather will not freeze but the latex will. Like removing gum. Freeze it than brake it off. Hope this helps |
