I’ve dealt with this issue before, and I have a couple of suggestions that might help you remove the glue from your waterproof jacket.
First, you can try the freezing method. Just put the jacket (or the glue-stained part) in the freezer overnight. The cold will make the glue all hard and brittle, making it easier to scrape off with a blunt tool or even your fingernail. If there’s still some residue left after scraping, a product like Goo Gone should take care of that.
Another option is to use a dedicated glue remover. I’ve had good results with Goof Off. It’s designed to tackle tough adhesives like Super Glue, epoxy, and Gorilla Glue. Just follow the instructions on the packaging, apply it to the glue, let it work its magic for a bit, and then wipe the glue away with a cloth or scraper.
One thing to keep in mind, though – before you try any removal methods, double-check the care label on your jacket. Different waterproofing materials (like PVC, PU, or silicone) might have specific cleaning requirements. It’s also a good idea to test the removal method on a small, hidden part of the jacket first, just to make sure it won’t damage the fabric or the waterproof coating.
Take your time, be gentle when scraping off the glue, and clean the area with a damp cloth when you’re done. If these methods don’t do the trick, or if you’re not sure what to do, your best bet might be to take the jacket to a pro cleaner.
