Does anyone know the best way to get a little bit of glue off my patent leather Easy? There is a small amount underneath one of the handles. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jamie

^ I actually had a tiny bit of glue on the handle of my regular leather easy that I just got. I used a damp cloth and it came off. Best of luck!

I tried that and it just kind of moved it around. Maybe I am just being too light handed since I'm paranoid about damaging it. I'll try it again.

Thanks!

try this produce called "goo gone". i think any hardware store sells it.

I wonder if that would be safe for patent leather? I do have some stuff that gets labels and stickers off things but it is oil based.

From time to time I will notice glue on a new bag, but usually its the gummy/sticky type that easily rolls off into a little ball when I rub it with my fingertip.

Is yours a more serious problem?

No, it's hardly noticeable. I've had my bag for a little bit and just noticed it. I'm sure I can get it off if I just put some effort into it but I thought maybe there was an easier way.

I've used the goo gone on patent leather before, to get rid of some glue residue (always testing it first ofcourse).
