Plan B for 'removing' Super Glue Stain in Clothing

I got some Acetone to remove Super Glue from a pair of trousers I really like. It didn't work that well, in fact the Acetone caused it to dilute and sink well in to the material leaving a nasty stain. Worse still the glue stain caused the cotton to crack. Couldn't believe my favourite trousers were ruined by a dodgy looking stain.

Then I got inspired and thought of a way to fix it.

Cover Stain With Pillow Case (cotton!)

OK I did this with a Polycotton pillowcase and that didn't work so well. Then I ironed over the patch for 30 seconds, with the iron set on full.

OK Here Is the Secret - I Used an Iron on Patch (£1)

Much nicer to have an iron on patch, for £1, than a horrible looking stain. I chose a Star Trek patch (of course).

Now my trousers are usable again!
