Hot glue guns can be great...except when they cause casualties. That's right! A hot glue gun can kill your clothing with one drop, or so you may think. Using these techniques, maybe you can save your clothing before it's too late!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Place your glued item of clothing in the freezer. As soon as the glue freezes, it should peel right off.

  2. Step 2

    If any glue gets stuck in the fibers of the clothing, just place a piece of wax paper over the spot of glue and iron it as you would an iron-on design, making sure your iron is set to its highest setting (usually cotton or wool). If you don't have wax paper, you could try a brown paper bag, an old pillowcase, or even a few pieces of paper towel.

  3. Step 3

    Acetone nail polish can get rid of Crazy Glue. You can find that anywhere that they sell cosmetics.

  4. Step 4

    A product like Goo Gone should get rid of it. You can find Goo Gone at Lowe's or another hardware store.
