I have some dry contact cement on my carpet.
How can i remove it ?


Is it small enough to cut out? I've been able to trim out large cigarette
burns (my drunk brother's) that I thought I'd never be able to get rid of.

That's probably not going to do much. Try acetone (lacquer thinner)
instead.


Or Goof Off, in small yellow cans, sold at Home Depot (with all the glue and
epoxy). Seems to cut damn near anything.

You might call the company and ask about " contact cement".

I've used this product before and it worked..

They are numbered 1-5

Caution: before following the above advice, test in an inconspicuous area to
make sure it doesn't dissolve synthetic carpet fibers too.

Yes. And use with adequate ventilation (unless you *like* headaches).
