Removing 3M Hi-Strength Spray Adhesive 90 from leather?

[Robin Casady]

Anyone know how to remove 3M™ Hi-Strength Spray Adhesive 90 from leather upholstery? I was installing Redline armrests and got some adhesive on the front surface.

You can try the 3M adhesive remover but try an unseen area to be sure it's color safe , I got some on a shift knob cause I had it on my hands and had to move a car and it cleaned it off just had to retreat the leather

I called around and nobody has 3M Adhesive Remover. The 3M store says, "Restricted in California".

Goo Gone says not to use it on leather.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Nail polish remover?

Bestine rubber cement thinner? I've used that on all kinds of adhesives.I'd practice on a hidden piece of the leather first though.

Thanks everyone. I managed to get it off with a little spit and a lot of rubbing with a paper towel. At the end, a brush removed the last little bits down in the leather texture. This was the kind of brush you use for scrubbing your hands. I was careful not to damage the leather surface -- first tried it on an area that didn't show.

That's some powerful spit.

Damn I couldn't live with out 3M adhesive remover ...I run thru at least a quart per month

I wonder why it is restricted -- toxic, or eco-unfriendly?

It's pretty strong , might be eco, or kids huffing it

Most likely either toxic or very flammable.
