How do you remove gum that's stuck on a leather bag?

Question

some a**hole put gum on my leather case bag and I don't know how to remove it without damaging the bag.thanks

Answer 1

try taking it out with a knife and if u find that guy who put gum take the same knife and out it on his stomach just kidding:) just use a knife to take it out or take a cotton and put water and remove it slowly

hope u remove it and beat up that guy!!!!!

Answer 2

I also had the same problem.  My friend told me to use mayonaise.  It works.  The gum went off  without damaging the leather.  Try it.

Answer 3

Try using Rubbing Alcohol on a cotton ball to remove it. You'll have to scrub a little bit, but it should come off. After that, put on some leather polish (or something to that effect) to replace the lost moisture.

Answer 4

Put the whole bag in the freezer and let the gum harden and it should then chip off.  On some types of leather finish this may leave a mark which could then be recoloured.  Do not use any types of oil as this may ruin your leather.

Answer 5

i have used ice in the past, but it can still leave an oily stain, walmart sells this stuff called goo be gone that I have heard works well. good luck.. I think someone has nothing better to do than give everyone thumbs down, please do yourself a favor and get of the internet.. it is easy to give everyone thumbs down when knowone knows who you are isnt it..
