on 11/22/2005 Pull off what you can get with your fingers or tweezers. Then dab with fingernail polish remover. With a wash cloth, rub vigorously until the gum comes off. After the gum is removed, rewash as usual. It should work like a charm!

on 11/22/2005 first let the gum harden because if the gum is still sticky problems will just get worse. when the gum is hard, use a cotton ball or whatever esle and dip it into some rubbing acohol. wipe or dab it onto the gum and let it soak it in for a few second. then use a twizzer to pick up the gum. and just kept repeating the steps until gum is off. it should take that long.

on 11/22/2005 There is a product called M30 at many stores. Rub it on and into the gum, leave large amounts on top of the gum and let it sit overnight. Next morning the M30 will be gone and the gum easily removed by picking off. Then wash as usual.
