on 11/11/2008 My 3 year old smeared gun on our plasma TV and I used WD40. It work really fast and I didn't have to scrub, which would have scratched the screen. I spayed it directly on the gum and used a damp cloth to rub it off. Works great!

on 5/24/2008 I unwittingly sat on a large, sticky piece of gum in the gym and then shared this gift with the leather seat of my car. eHow postings provided a number of options and I went with WD-40. In five minutes I'd completely removed the gum from both my shorts and my leather seat. Both are without a stain. It sure feels good...

on 3/6/2008 See reprint below from "Anonymous" on 11/22/05. I just tried it. It is THE BEST REMEDY FOR GUM REMOVAL EVER. Just tried it on my boss' office carpet on gum he tracked in just before client appt. Went in there with compressed air and a credit card, worked like a CHARM, can't wait to tell all my friends with kids, crazy, but it totally works!!!
"Compressed Air. I used Memorex Air Duster brand which contains the common aerosol propellant Difluoroethane (AKA Freon). Just hold the can upside-down and lightly squeeze the trigger letting out a small stream of the freon (you don't need much for this to work). This instantly freezes the gum and turns it extremely brittle. Then I used a credit card to lightly rub back and forth on the gum. The gum is so brittle at this point it breaks up into little pieces even though it is matted and pressed into the carpet.
This is best done with a fu
