Using Goo Gone as an Adhesive Remover/Solvent Soak

[cottonReville]

I've heard a few people say they use it - I bought a bottle, hoping it'd just remove all the glue without a fuss - 99% Isopropyl/C22 does not do that for me - but have yet to try it.

Thoughts?

White or clear bond?

White - but the poly base is just COATED w it.

This is made specifically for that.

I have used googone many times on both lace and skin pieces. For skin , I suggest you spray the poly only instead of soak.

I try to avoid spraying on hair as it is very oily product. There is a gel formula that isn't as liquid as the original formula which helps sprayin only st on poly , laying flat, poly side up. After a few minutes, I scrape goo with old credit or gift card...the use dish soap ( again only on poly) to remove oily residue

Why do people use solvents to remove water based adhesives? It's not the appropriate product.

Rather than use multiple wrong products, why not use one designed for the task?

So GooGone liquid, not gel, is even oiler than C22?

Frankly, I didn't know this existed & began using C22 when I was a lace user.

Thanks for the tip!

I tried C22 early on, as well. I think it's a terrible idea for hair systems. It lubricates knots on lace and v loops on poly, encouraging hair to shed.

Also, We all work so hard to get the strongest and longest attachment... why would we ever add oil to something we're trying to glue to our head securely. I know you can clean it with dish soap. But that's just additional steps...strips the hair... and creates more wear and tear on the system. It never made sense to me.... Plus it made my thin skin lose transparancy, and appear milky. I've read others have had the same problem too.

It's disgusting & abusive to the systems but works. I never understood its popularity.

But there's no alternative.

Of course there is. For white bond, the product I shared and 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Both much better alternatives..... Actually they're not alternatives, they're what's made for the particular task.

I'm just going to remove my pieces before the glue transfers to the poly base. Usually, if taken off within a week, the glue stays on my scalp, which is an easy clean.

@TooBad You don't appreciate the pain of white glue use beyond hairline work!

Next time, I'm going to 99 iso soak. So sick of this oil nonsense.

I'll admit that!
I've only used white bond one time. I'm tape and ultra hold.
