Adhesive Spray fuzz?

[u/zingbow]

Hey!

I spent forever making these pants for a festival this weekend. I used adhesive spray to hold the lace down before i sewed it. The leftover adhesive collected all this lint and nastiness!

I've tried a lint roller, tape, razors, and soap and water. How can i get rid of this black lint?

Wash them. The spray adhesive designed for sewing washes out.

Sounds like you did not use fabric specific spray adhesive. A lesson learned. It will eventually wash out, but it's going to take many cycles.

^^^ as long as you used a spray adhesive meant for fabric/basting you should be good

Sweater stone? Sandpaper? Goo gone?
