Kidney505 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 What kind of material is it stuck to? velvet sort of stuff or something a little harder wearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Heat will soften it and make it harder to remove. Freezing it will allow it to be 'chipped' off in flakes/chunks. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup tric has been banned for at least 10 years, still use it in our China factory where someone found if you don't turn the refrigeration bit of the ultrathingy cleaner on it sends every one in the factory quite divvy.

TaxiDriver Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks for all the responses, my driver got it in the end using a proprietory cleaner that he picked up in Halfrauds (not sure what it was) but suffice to say it made it go hard and then picked/scratched it off.
